Directions

1. Choose a player to be the dealer. The dealer places 12 cards on the desk face up.
2. Players take turns. On your turn, look for ways to make 10 by adding or subtracting the numbers on the cards. You can use more than 2 cards. Remove the cards and tell the other players how the numbers make ten. Place the cards in a pile face down. Your turn continues as you keep choosing cards until you think you found all the cards that can make ten.
3. The dealer then replaces the cards removed so the next player has 12 cards.
4. Players continue to take turns until there are no more cards and there are no more ways to make ten.
5. Each player then counts his or her cards. The player with the most cards wins the game.
