Description
How it works
Each player spreads fifteen counters across the spaces on their board, betting on which products will come up — and once placed, counters cannot move. Players then take turns rolling, doubling the number, saying the multiplication fact aloud (“two times four equals eight”), and removing a counter from that space if they have one. First to clear their board wins. Asking “what are you hoping to roll?” mid-game turns it into a conversation about probability as well as facts.
