Designed for one or two players, this is a Scrabble-style game, with numbers. The idea is to build math equations on a crossword style board by dragging number titles into position. Players take turns forming or extending equations in a horizontal or vertical direction. You must use at least one tile from the board and two tiles from your hand on each turn, and all adjacent tiles must be part of a true and complete equation. The game takes some getting used to... once you place a tile, you cannot move it, however you can choose to pass and forfeit your turn. The game ends when both players pass twice in succession. The score for each turn is the sum of each digit in the equations formed or extended during that turn, according to the following rules: operator and equal sign tiles have no score value but do help capture bonus tiles; the value of two consecutive number tiles is the sum of their individual values. So a 1 and 2 tile placed beside each other has a value of 3, not 12; and the value of a created or extended equation is increased or multiplied by bonus tiles covered by tiles placed during the turn.
