A fun mix of math, tic-tac-toe, strategy, and luck, this game makes addition much more exciting! The game consists of a 9-square board, double-sided chips numbered 2-20, two 10-sided dice, an addition table, instructions, and a storage bag. Two different 2-player games can be played, the goal of each being to make a row of three chips of your color on the board. In Plus, players roll both dice, figure out the sum, grab the chip with that number on it, and place it with their color face-up anywhere on the board. Then it’s the next player’s turn, and so on. In Double, a player rolls one die on his turn, doubles it to find the sum, and places the matching chip anywhere on the board. The real fun begins when you or your opponent roll the dice and come up with a number which is already on the board! If it’s your turn and you roll the sum of one of your chips on the board, you can pick it up and move it or leave it where it is. If your opponent rolls that number, however, they get to flip it over to their color AND move it wherever they’d like! No matter who seems to be winning, it could all change with a roll of the dice!

Got this in my Rainbow order today, too. This game, I love! Simple, yet brilliant. A fast play. You get a sturdy cardboard tic-tac-toe board and twenty thick plastic markers numbered 1-20, plus two 10-sided dice. Think Hollywood Squares meets addition. Roll the two dice, add the total, pick out the matching marker (there is only one of each number, but one side is purple, the other orange, so you flip it to your color) Place it on the tic-tac-toe board. Now take turns and try to get three of your colored pieces in a row to make tic-tac-toe. If that number has already been used, you can move the piece to another spot, if it's yours or flip it if it is your opponent's. It practices addition facts to 20 using the numbers 1-10, something you don't get in most math games which use 6-sided dice (you know, the highest total you can get is 6+6=12). There is also a version of the game where you take out all the odd-numbered discs and shake one die to find the doubles (shake an 8, play a 16; shake a 1, play a 2) Here's something exciting! They also make Roll 'n Multiply! (It costs twice as much, but it must come with many more discs) It's going on my next wish list!
