DESCRIPTION
Age: 6+
Player : 2-5
Play time : 10+ min
On it, we see line commander with the target flag and behind him five fast racing machines. At the start of the game, the participants take a set of track cards and place them in a line to create entire route. One side connects horizontally, the other one is in landscape orientation according to the chosen game variant. Track always ends with the finish line. On the first field of the route, players put wooden figure of Rick the Racer. Even cards with numbers are double-sided. Players shuffle them and create a drawing pile on the table. In addition, players will also need a dice.
Player, whose turn it is, takes this die and rolls it, longing for nice result. According to number of pips rolled, competitor moves forward and stops on the field with some example of multiplication. The player’s task is now to solve the example correctly. For a flawless calculation, he receives as a reward top card from the number pack and puts it in front of himself as a trophy. The game continues until the competitor reaches the finish line. At that point, the player with the highest number of cards will win.
We have played the Multiplier Table Cup. This is the third and most advanced version of this game. And it works on very simple mechanisms, which corresponds to the age limit for this box.
In another variation, which also uses multiplication, players compete in speed. Some of them rolls a die, but they do not move the character. Instead, they only find a position, where Rick should stop and answer as quickly as possible (based on the math formula). The card is given to the player, who was the first to should the correct solution.
It is immediately clear, that parents with children may not be able to play this little game. For older players it’s all too simple and the kids would not have much chance to compete. But if they battle with each other, then it is precisely the game, that little pre-school children (or first-timers) will enjoy.
