Great for number knowledge. Wished I’d found this when I taught in EYFS and Ks1
Excellent game for 5 -7 year olds to reinforce simple addition/subtraction/odds and even numbers. 5 year old grandson loves i
Really good game to help our grandson with maths.
Would recommend it.
Big hit here, great as addition/subtraction practice for early school ages, and great as an introduction for younger kids. Introduces evens/odds and positive/negative numbers too. Easy to play, and lots of fun.
The game is fun while really helping with addition and subtraction. My niece and granddaughters love it.
We bought this for our sons 6th birthday. He’s a little behind on his maths skills so wanted to help improve this without him thinking it was school work.
The game is amazing for this, lasted long enough but wasn’t too long that he restless and wanted to play elsewhere.
Highly recommended.
Used the board game to teach my daughter to add or subtract quickly. It was so much fun that even her friends wanted to play it.
Bought as a birthday for 5yr old grandson. He loves it as does his 8 yr old sister. Excellent buy.
Amazing way to engage kids in learning math! And it is super fun too!
What an amazing board game for kids. Very educational!! One can make his kid learn basic addition and subtraction! Will definitely recommend i
Very well made. Great design. An educational game which is a lot of fun to play. Amazing value.
Brilliant way to get youngsters using Maths without them feeling like it’s a lesson or boring. The Endless Loop thing in the game can be exactly that, ENDLESS. I’d advise some flexible rules so you’re not stuck indefinitely; ours is two loops then a hop out!
This was a great buy for our four year old and gave some family fun time whilst they learnt basic Maths.
My 4 year old grandson loves loves loves this game. It’s quick and fun and it’s really helped him add and subtract. He now remembers by heart a lot of the digits… ie 3+4 = 7 without doing it on his fingers. This is because we have played it soooo much! Highly recommended.
Excellent, my 6 year old loves it! Really helps with her maths and most of all it’s fun! Better then doing pen to paper. Highly recommend this game for little ones. My 3 year old likes it, but obviously needs help playing it. Great family game.
Really good simple game that got a lot of attention for a few days at Xmas but think it was a bit too easy for my 4 nearly 5yo as he seemed to get bored of it quickly. Would suggest maybe for a child turning 4 and starting to understand their numbers and how to do sums. Once they get to school these sums become a bit easy, almost need an upgraded version with a bigger board and a times and divided by dice.
My 6-year old has been playing this since he was 5, and he loves it. His mental arithmetic is brilliant, and he actually begs us to play this with us. When we’re busy, he’ll play both players himself. There are a couple of places where I wish the rules were clearer (such as, if you get a negative number in the endless loop, do you go anti-clockwise round the loop, or back out of it), but this doesn’t bother my son at all, and he has decided how it should be played according to his rules. Highly recommended.
I bought this for my 4 year old’s birthday as she is interested in numbers and starting school in Sept. She absolutely loves it and begs me to play ‘just one more game’, I always put my foot down after the 4th go!
We have had it 1 week and play almost every day, but already I have noticed that she is faster at calculating the answers and using her fingers to count on less often.
The game features shortcuts, the Endless Loop and other special squares that can propell you forward (or backwards) depending on whether you roll a +/- which keeps things interesting as even if she is very far behind me on the gameboard, she knows that there is still a good chance to win because of these special squares so she doesn’t give up.
Excellent game design, good quality board and counters – a great purchase.
This game is sturdy, attractively produced, has a clear board and clear rules, with lots of interest. Does not take long for someone to win a game (the players only have one piece each to move round the board), so it is possible for everyone to have another chance to win in the next game. The maths was challenging for my 5-yr old grand-daughter (2nd year primary school), as she had not been taught addition and subtraction tables, and was trying to do it on her fingers. Will doubtless help her with her arithmetic, but it was tiring for her to try to work out the answer for everyone’s “go”, as we did at first. Might be an opportunity to have the addition and subtraction tables on display nearby, so that she could just look up the answer. That said, I would still thoroughly recommend this game.
This board game is simple but effective. It is great for young kids learning to add and subtract. I use it with my son with special needs. It is quite a short game so I am able to hold their interest in playing and it does what it is supposed to do. Playing regularly has made a great difference is his ability to play and his desire to play. Now that he understands the concept of addition and subtraction he wants to play. So I can now attempt to transfer some of these skills to other board games. It helps with turn taking and socialization. Great game
A good game for ages 3-6. Players toss 2 numbered dice and one containing + and – signs. They must then make an equation and solve to move that number of spaces. There are numbers scattered on the board and if you land on then, you must roll the + – die and move that number of spaces either forward or backward based on the + or -. There are also odd and even spaces, if you roll the number requested (either odd or even) you move ahead that number of spaces.
This is a great game for basic maths skills. Introducing positive and negative numbers and odd and even as well. Fair rules. And even number of wins for each child. Couldn’t have asked for more.
