PS 174 William Sidney Mount
  

Game description: The goal is to defeat 5 math haters who are the villains of the game - Sammy Science, Edward ELA, Alison Art, Patricia PE, and Rachel Recess. To win, you have to be the first to defeat every villain.
2-4 players, ages 9+

  • Set up: select a playing character, put each character on START, shuffle the space cards, separate the math quizzes based on Math Haters.
  • Youngest player goes first.
  • There are 3 playing pieces - Mia Mathematician, Mighty Math Man, and Sabrina Subtraction.
  • Questions are based on addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Challenge questions also include geometry.
  • To move spaces, take the top card and try to answer the question.
  • If you answer it correctly, then you move up the number of spaces on the card. If you answer incorrectly, your turn is over and you stay where you are.
  • Some spaces have actions on them - e.g. do five jumping jacks, so if you land on them, you must do the action.
  • To defeat a villain you must land on a cave on their island and take a quiz for that person. If you get everything right, you have defeated that villain. Continue on until you have defeated every villain.
  • A shortcut to the cave is by taking a boat through Octagon Ocean but you must take a geometry quiz labeled Boat Dock.
  • If you get the questions right, you can go on the boat until you reach the dock
  • Once you have defeated all the math haters, you have won!
