Muggins Math Game (Revised Wood Board with Knockout)

These well thought-out math games really encourage players to use what they've learned! These games are played on a reversible double-sided board with holes for the marbles; Muggins on one side and Knockout on the other. Muggins is fast-paced and brain-stretching; it uses all basic arithmetic operations and requires the use of strategic thinking and mental math skills. The game is for 1-4 players and requires players to occupy as many number spaces as possible while blocking their opponents' attempts to do the same. After rolling 3 dice (6-sided or 12-sided, depending on the level of play), players try to claim an unoccupied numbered space. To do this, they must form an equation (using any combination of basic arithmetic operations) with those three numbers with an answer equal to the number shown on an unclaimed space. A few extra rules like "bumping" and "bluffing" provide additional complexity to the game and allow for more challenging play. Knockout is a "King of the Mountain" with numbers type game for 1-4 players. Roll dice and add or subtract to build lock-out points for yourself or knock out your opponents in this fun game of strategy and luck. There are many different levels of play. The game board measures 11 7/8" square and is 3/4" thick.
