**Math Cat**

 

**Game description: **This simple board game that helps kids memorize multiplication table and counting within 100. Instead of flat board, it features 3D model of a mountain with a trail. And instead of dice, there is a deck of cards with multiplication questions that players have to answer in order to climb on top. This adds more motivation and fun than just abstract memorizing of multiplication tables.

- The game can have 2 or more players.
- The player takes a random card from the deck and solves multiplication problems. Other players verify the answer.
- If the answer is correct, the player advances his or her character towards the top of the mountain by the number equal to given answer.
- If a card suggests multiplying a number by itself, it's still good to find an answer to that, but alas, the player has to skip a turn.
- The first one to reach the top wins!
