Loose Change Game

Kids will have fun practicing their money counting skills with this coin card game. The set contains 108 cards (94 coin cards, 10 lucky find cards, and 4 save cards). Each coin card has a labeled color photo of a coin (nickel, dime, quarter or 50 cent piece), the lucky find cards have illustrations of a treasure chest with values greater than just one coin (30 cents, 35 cents, and 45 cents), and the save cards allow players to pass on their turns. The object of the game is to play cards that equal exactly one dollar without going over. Each player take turns drawing a card from the pile while playing a card from their hand to add to the running total of cards laid out on the table. Once a player plays a card that adds up to exactly one dollar, he/she gets to keep the pile and a new round is started. If a player plays a card that adds up to over one dollar, the player "busts" and claims the cards face down. When all of the cards have been used, the players tally up their points. Each dollar pile is worth one point, while each "bust" pile is a negative point. The player with the most points is the winner! For 2-6 players. ~ Lisa
