What do high school and chemical warfare have in common? Anshul Samar, mostly.
In a world where hotshot entrepreneurs are becoming CEOs of their very own companies at a younger and younger age, Samar is set to make his mark own unique on the gaming world with his neat trading card game, called Elementeo. In it, you and your opponent each have sets of chemicals that you use to destroy one another at the atomic level. Elementeo is basically an exercise in ‘making chemistry fun’ for kids.
Samar didn’t just start in the last few months. As far back as the fourth grade, he had an idea for a chemistry-based card game, but it took him years to work out all the quirks (or quarks, for you card-playing particle physicists out there).
Now, the 10th-grade CEO of the impressively named Alchemist Empire, Inc. is set to introduce millions of kids to his unique brand of fun and learning. In a market flooded by trading card games like Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh and Magic: The Gathering, this is arguably one of the freshest ideas.
In addition to starting up a fun little game, Samar’s interests span from music (he plays the guitar, drums and keyboard), to the Debate Club, basketball, poetry and activities dealing with youth empowerment.
