How it works...

There are 3 games - multiplication, division and a combination of the two. It also has two play levels. The first level gives questions in normal format ("What is 5 into 15?", "What is 5 times 4?" and "What is 3 divided by 3?"). The second level gives questions in equation format (What number times 5 will equal 25?). You can also go several rounds before starting over.

This game is in a quiz style where each player must "buzz in" when they know an answer to a maths question and the first player to buzz in gets the first chance at answering the question. If they miss, the next player to buzz in gets a chance. If two players miss, the correct answer is given and a new question begins, regardless of total number of players.

There is a bit of strategy involved, players lose ten points for every wrong answer and gain ten points for every correct answer. The player with the most points at game end is the winner. Likewise, the game is timed - each question allows ten seconds for a player to buzz in before time is up. Once a player buzzes in, their player number is called and they have 10 seconds to punch in the correct answer. Quickness is key in this game!

The only negative is that it takes a bit too long to say the number of the player who buzzes in.

Requires 4 AA batteries. For 2-4 players aged 7 plus. Mat size: 55.9cm diameter.
