Number Game

This game is a fine way to practise mental arithmetic. It is played on a squared board with plastic tiles, each of which has four numbers on it. Colours have to match when a new tile is placed next to one of those that is already there and the numbers have to be added, subtracted, multiplied or divided. Points are scored according to the result of the calculation. It can be played as a form of solitaire but is better treated as a game for 2-4 players. £14.50 (+ VAT)
