• So we've tried to do is is bring to life sort of the the way that he solved problems in the game he was a visual Problem Solver and he also Ross lots of different fields of Science and we also wanted to introduce you to the life of Dr Einstein because he he was perhaps the most important scientist of any type ever certainly one of the two most important physicists possibly the first but the life that he lived was was fascinating and full and wonderful and so we wanted to to share that with you in the game as well.
• So each inspiration card is structured that way so historical reference as well if you want to learn a little bit about the life of Einstein absolutely that's right but I don't have to know anything about the life of him to play Zer Zer okay good who's Einstein you'll be fine okay okay we're still good yeah we're still good.
