What to Expect

Players take turns drawing cards numbered 1 to 9, trying to collect sets that add up to 10. When a player forms such a set, they score points, while leftover cards at the end count as penalties. The game is very short and suitable for young children learning basic arithmetic through gameplay. Multiple rounds are played, with scores accumulating.

How It Works

Players draw cards from a deck numbered 1 to 9 in turns. When a player holds cards summing exactly to 10, they lay them down to score points. Remaining cards at round end count as negative points.
