The present invention provides a novel method of game play and game components that in one embodiment are in the form of a board game with education cards which have actual information about the topic, along with game information such that learning becomes fun, and learning happens as a side effect of fun. In one version, the game components comprise chemistry element cards that attack with power based upon their oxidation state and move on the board based upon their physical state. In another version, these elements also have their real world reaction properties, but expressed in a form that applies to the game itself. In another version, the chemistry element cards can be combined and replaced by compound cards. In another version, there is another set of cards called as the Alchemy cards which impact the game from outside the battlefield. The game components may take other forms, such as electronic games, video games, computer games, and inter-active network. Similar ideas can be applied to many places to introduce different topics to kids and adults in the areas such as physics, history, math, biology, botany, zoology, army, music, human body, astronomy, and anthropology.

What is claimed is: 1. A method of playing a chemistry card game for two or more players, the game involving rules of play and a set of element cards, the method comprising: each player drawing a plurality of element cards for the player's hand from the given set; each player executing turns by placing and/or moving one or more of the player's element cards on a playing surface, so that the one or more placed or moved element cards interact another player's element cards, wherein element cards interact according to rules derived from chemical properties of elements associated with the element cards. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein while executing a turn, each player: selects one or more said element cards from his/her hand and places them on the playing surface, and uses element cards belonging to the player on the playing surface to attack the element cards from the opponent player. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the element cards have indicia including one or more of the element's name, symbol, oxidation state, physical state, atomic number, atomic weight, melting point, boiling point, safety characteristics, and element family for use in conjunction with the said game. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the play surface is a matrix and the said element cards have an indicia to indicate how the card moves on the playing surface including forward, diagonal, sideways, or backwards based upon some property of the element. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the each element card has an associated reaction property expressed as an indicia or descriptive text that influences the game in some way such as increasing the attack or the defense powers, or destroying the opponent, or changing the game in some way. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein when one of the element cards is used to attack one or more of the opponent's element cards, the winner is determined by one of the factual properties of the element card such as the element card's oxidation state, valence, power, strength, atomic number, atomic weight, boiling point, or melting point. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein the winner is determined by the roll of a dice or some random occurrence with or without further considering the factual properties of the element. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein a first player's element cards can attack an opponent's element cards only when the opponent's element cards are neighboring the first player's element cards or blocking the movement of the first player's element cards, or in line of sight, or line of action, or any such combination. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the element cards are in electronic, paper, plastic, or any such media, and in any shape, size, language, or design. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein drawing element cards comprises first shuffling or mixing the element cards to get random element cards for the play. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein drawing element cards comprises all the players drawing from the same collection of element cards. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein drawing element cards comprises the players selecting specific element cards from the entire collection. 13. The method of claim 1, wherein playing the game also involves using one or more chemical compound cards that can be brought to the playing surface, the chemical compound cards having indicia including but not limited to one or more of the compound's name, chemical formula, molecular weight, melting point, boiling point, power, strength, moving ability, and compound safety characteristics for use in conjunction with the game; and wherein executing a turn involves using one or more compound cards in accordance with the indicia on the compound cards and the rules of play. 14. The method of claim 13, wherein using a compound card involves: determining the element cards that are needed to make the compound card in the game based upon the indicia of the compound card; locating those element cards on the playing surface or in the hand of a player; exchanging the located element cards for the compound card; and placing the compound card on the playing surface or in the hand of the player or adding it to a player's set of drawable cards. 15. The method of claim 14, wherein while making said compound card, if it takes more than one of the same basic element card, the same element card can be assumed to represent multiple copies of the same element at no cost or on payment of some game token. 16. The method of claim 13, wherein the said compound cards move on the playing surface based upon a moving ability of the said compound card. 17. The method of claim 14, wherein to make the compound card, the player can defragment or decompose one or more of the existing compound cards on the playing surface or the hand into element cards, and use the resulting element cards in making the compound cards." 18. The method of claim 13, wherein to make compounds, a player has to pay in terms of one or more of game tokens or some such disadvantage. 19. The method of claim 13, wherein the players use their one or more of element or compound cards to solve a specific problem by making a specific compound to get more game tokens or some other advantage in the said game. 20. An apparatus that facilitates playing a chemistry card game for two or more players, the apparatus comprising: a set of element cards; a playing surface; and rules of play, wherein the rules of play specify that the game is played by, each player drawing a plurality of element cards for the player's hand from the given set; each player executing turns by placing and/or moving one or more of the player's element cards on a playing surface, so that the one or more placed or moved element cards interact another player's element cards, wherein element cards interact according to rules derived from chemical properties of the elements associated with the element cards. 21. The apparatus of claim 20, wherein the apparatus is implemented on a computer system, and wherein the set of element cards and the playing surface are represented within a computer program which executes on the computer system. 23. A computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that when executed by a computer cause the computer to perform a method for playing a chemistry card game for two or more players, the game involving rules of play and a set of element cards, the method comprising: each player drawing a plurality of element cards for the player's hand from the given set; each player executing turns by placing and/or moving one or more of the player's element cards on a playing surface, so that the one or more placed or moved element cards interact another player's element cards, wherein element cards interact according to rules derived from chemical properties of the elements associated with the element cards.
