Miss Lupun
Plus Minus
Maybe Miss Lupun loves to play with numbers due to the fact that her name is an anagram of Plus Minus! She is the legendary High Priestess of Logic and offers adventures in the world of numbers.
Each player holds a set of pieces numbered 0 to 9 and three secret puzzle cards. The board is a grid of six rows with four squares, that is, a grid of 6 x 4 squares, the rows are numbered from 1 to 6 and the columns are marked with A to D. In this way, each square has a unique identification with a letter and a number. The puzzles on the cards are written like formulas using the coordinates, for instance A5+B5 = D5. For a better understanding the cards feature a miniature image of the board highlighting the squares involved in the puzzle formula.
In turn players set a piece with a number on the board and try to solve their own puzzles. When all squares of the board are full, each player reveals his puzzles and adds the points for puzzles solved. If you score most points, you win. If you play over several rounds you place your numbers circled side face-down and can at the end of the round turn over stones adding up to the number of points you scored; so you can add up scores from several rounds. A joker variant is listed, too. If you draw a joker card at the start, you receive a joker piece which can be assigned to represent any number. Other variants are listed, too.
Miss Lupun offers challenging, elegant puzzles for hair-raising tasks – now you have placed a high number in a row that I am supposed to add up, can I salvage the situation with a joker? Logic thinking far away from Sudoku, each puzzle is very different!
