Description

This resource would be an excellent “addition" to any collection of math games! In this superhero-inspired numerical showdown, players use the power of math to defeat waves of villains attacking the city. Each turn, players roll three dice and use any combination of arithmetic operators to manipulate the value. But that's not all; each player gets a superhero with a special power for more flexibility. Characters like “Mi-nus" can subtract 1 or 2 from a value, “Digitizer" can flip a die to its opposite value, and “Multi-pull" can double a value. If a value can be made that matches the value of a villain, the opponent is defeated and removed from the board. Bonus powers further aid players, allowing quick dispatch of “Villains with a prime number" or “Divisible by 3". Unlike many math games with a theme pasted over very basic math concepts, Outnumbered feels unified and complete. It offers a healthy mix of open-ended math, suitably menacing cartoon villains, cheesy heroes, and delightfully comic-booky illustrations. For 1-6 players. 20 to 30-minute playtime.
