Comic book super heroes meet math facts, in this complicated iPad version of the tabletop card game of the same name: Numbers League. Your goal is to rid Infinity City of villains by making a super hero that has a mathematical value. To do this, you use a spinner which generates a hero with a random value. Your job is to add up that value, and pick a bad guy with the same or less value to defeat. When all the bad guys are locked up, you win the game. The graphics and sounds are nicely done, and there are options for the timer, background music, hints and difficulty of the game play. This game is hard to figure out, but can grow on you. It helps to like the theme, however.
