STEP 3 : ART ATTACK
Carry out an internet image search for each nebula on the list , and draw them onto your trump cards . This is the fun bit . What materials will you use ? Coloured pencils ? Felt tips ? Collaged papers ? Have as much fun as you like – after all , that ’ s what we ’ re here for .
STEP 4 : READY , STEADY , STAT
When you ’ re ready , complete the stats for each nebula . Make sure you include all the facts .
If player two ’ s nebula was discovered before 1882 , they claim player one ’ s card . If player two ’ s nebula was discovered after 1882 , player two retains their card and claims player one ’ s card . Player two then picks a card and reads a stat . They might say ‘ My nebula is 4.5 light years in diameter ’. If player one ’ s nebula is less than 4.5 light years in diameter , player two gets their opponent ’ s card , and so on . Play continues until one person has all the cards in the pack , and they are crowned champion of the known universe ( or something ).
STEP 5 : COMPLETE |
|
|
|
When your cards are complete , carefully cut them |
|
|
|
out with scissors . Give them a shuffle and deal them |
|
|
|
out equally between the players , making sure that |
|
|
|
the cards all face downwards . To begin , player one |
|
|
|
picks a card from their deck and reads out one stat . |
|
|
|
They might say , ‘ My nebula was discovered in 1882 ’. |
