Grade-level Game Play Options
Kindergarten-only Game Play
There are 10 red cards in the deck that do not require addition or subtraction. Use only those 10
cards if kindergarteners are playing. Instead of reading the words, players can look at the arrows
on the cards to know if they should move their pieces forward or backward. This is a great way
for kindergarteners to practice both measuring and counting to 75.
Addition-only Game Play
If students have only learned addition, you can remove the subtraction cards from the deck.
Advanced Game Play
There are 3 blue cards in the deck that require multiplication.
If your students have not yet learned multiplication, remove those cards and leave them in the
game box.
