Directions

  1. One person is the leader, and the others are players. The leader chooses and draws one playing board so that all of the players can see it.





  2. Each player draws the playing board on his or her paper.
  3. The leader shuffles the cards, places them face down, picks the top card, and reads the digit to all the players.
  4. Each player writes that digit in one of the boxes on his or her playing board. Each player must decide where to place the digit in order to get the largest (or smallest) answer. Once a player has written down a digit, it may not be moved. No digit will be repeated.
