Summy

A game on mathematical calculations, packed into a wooden box. The game comprises 96 wooden blocks showing the numbers from 0 to 9, 6 times each, and 5 times each the operators -, +, : and x plus 14 times the =.

One = is places for a starter block, the others are shuffled face down and each team draws 8 blocks. Then teams alternate in placing sums according to the Scrabble principle. The places in front and behind such a sum must always be kept free.             The Sum must contain one = and a minimum of 2 numbers and one operator in front of the =. For a valid sum you score the sum of the numbers in it. If you cannot place a sum you can set aside one of your blocks face down. At the end of a turn you replenish your hand to 8 tiles.
