PLAYED FOR YOU

Mix Match

12, 24, 7, 2 and 6 fOr 48

On 56 playing cards the numbers between 1 and 20 occur in different frequency, the three dice in the game are different: One blue die shows the numbers 0, 2, 3, 4,5 und 8, the second blue die shows  20, 30, 40, 50, 60 und 70 and the black die shows numbers 30, 50, 70, 80, 90 and 110. You are challenged to combine the numbers on cards as fast as you can to make up the sum of the dice and you should use as many cards as possible for this.

Five cards from the stack are in an open display. In the basic version of the game you only use the two blue dice. To achieve the result demanded by the dice using the cards on display you may use all four basic ways of calculation – addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. IF you see a way to achieve the result, you call “Stop”. All cease to calculate and you must demonstrate instantly how you arrive at the result. If you take too long or hesitate, your answer is considered to be wrong. If you answer correctly you keep the cards that you used in your answer. If you answer wrongly, you are out of the game for the round and cannot give and answer. When time runs out before someone gives an answer, a new card from the stack is added to the display. When all cards of the stack have been used, you win with most cards. The rules list variants; a game using only numbers 1-15 or choosing a personal card from the display which only you can but need not use for the solution, or a game using the black die.

Intended as an educational game, the little box is a challenge for adults too, a good opportunity to train your calculation skills.
