As “probably the very best numeracy” board game available in the world today, it
can best be described as a mathematical version of Scrabble.
The concept behind this excellent Malaysian game is very similar to the world-famous
word game, but utilises numbers instead of letters.
Constant playing not only helps children improve their mathematical skills but also
builds confidence in mastering basic numeracy. It can also result in players working
up to 1500 mental calculations per game, without even realising they have done so.
Players automatically learn to evaluate every move and calculation to improve their
scores or to prevent their opponents from making high scores.
Most importantly, it gives the players hours of fun. It is suitable for anyone, as
long as they can add, subtract, multiply and divide (the game can easily be adapted
for younger, or less able, pupils by just using addition).
