ABSTRACT:
A mathematical game that can be played by two, three, or four players uses a fold-open playing board with a square marked playing surface. A number of spaced bonus squares radiate outwardly form a centrally positioned star. Player positions are marked along four edges of the playing board. Each player has a limited number of playing tiles drawn from a tile pool of 100. The tiles are approximately 3/4 inch by 3/4 inch square and 1/8 inch thick and are numbered one to zero on one side. A player draws eight tiles from the mixed tile pool number side down. Each tile is sized to fit over and cover one square on the game board playing surface. Tile positioning is started on the center star. Each player in his/her turn attempts to complete a mathematical equation using three or more of his/her tiles with tiles already on the board. Scoring is based on adding the tile numbers showing plus any double numbers on bonus squares. The equation is disregarded. Play ends when the 100 tiles have been drawn and used to fill out eight for each player or no player can complete a mathematical equation using his/her tiles. The score is added and the highest score wins.
