6. Long description		CHEMISTRY QUEST (2011/8/28-2011/12/28) Establish a regular event space for playing “CHEMISTRY QUEST” at a newly opening cafe in Shinjyuku, Tokyo “LEAVEANEST Cafe＆Dining” for family and general public. We will also hold an event in which people can try out “CHEMISTRY QUEST”. The card game was produced by Yuito Yoneyama, who is in 6th grade in elementary student. Mr. Yoneyama established a company on July, 21st, 2011, for producing CHMISTRY QUEST. CHMISTRY QUEST features many different kinds of chemical bonds. Each player strives to make as many chemical bonds during a play, and a player who created the most number of chemical bonds win the game. Mr. Yoneyama originally came up with the initial idea and the card game when he was in the 3rd grade in elementary school. The card game has been improved since then, and this time he decided to commercialize the product. CHMISTRY QUEST not only features chemical bonds using carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, but also catalyst that facilitates the bonding process and noble gas that prevents elements from bonding, closely corresponding to the actual chemical bonding process to enhance the game element. He hopes that many people will rediscover an interest in chemistry through playing this card game.
