Would this be too difficult for a 6 year old to start learning?

Great question! I taught my six year old how to play in about 10 minutes and a few practice hands faced up. He regularly beats me now! I would suggest starting with what is the goal (earn 10 points to win), where to count the points (upper right/left I forgot which side), how to combine elements to make molecules to gain points. The color coding is also very helpful!

What is the difference between this game and the Valence Plus game?

Valence is a little lighter - when two people are familiar with the game, they can knock out a game in 10 minutes. So, it can be a quick, light activity, and because it's portable you could even bring it on the road. Valence Plus is more of a gamer's game - there's some more rules, substantially more molecules / elements / chemical reactions, and will take about 45 minutes to complete.

How many cards are there? Are they paper or plastic? Are all the 118 elements covered?

Not all elements are covered, this is an introductory level game to introduce core concepts. This is a great game for people who need a fantastic reminder of the basics. The cards are very good quality, easily shuffled. Nicely coated paper. My 8 year old loves the game.

How long does an average game take to play?

One round takes about 15 minutes with 2 players. A four player round takes about 10 minutes.
