ABSTRACT:
A method of playing a game of numbers and colors. In this game method, a new higher level of player strategy is introduced by way of players privately possessing numbered and colored objects for the duration of the game, in contrast to existing mathematical or color game methods based on utilizing sets of cards or objects viewed by all players. The present invention includes a new method of simultaneously combining mathematical operations performed on both numbers and colors. The method of the game of numbers and colors is based on utilizing the mathematical operations of multiplication, division, addition, or subtraction of numbers, and is also based on application of linear combinations of at least two colors to produce another different color. Emphasis is on mathematical manipulation of prime and non-prime numbers. Colors used in the method of the game are not limited to any finite number. The method of playing a game of numbers and colors of the present invention can be implemented in alternative formats or media, for example, based on the use of cards, tokens, or a computer. Playing the game of numbers and colors simultaneously amuses and educates participants with respect to number and color combinations and serves as a new addition to currently existing games based on subjects of mathematics and color.
