**Game description:** Players travel through the jungle solving multiplication problems along the way. The first player who gets through the jungle and to the middle first, yelling, "Mathanji!" wins!

- This game can have 2-4 players.
- Each player rolls the die. The person with the highest number rolled, goes first.
- Put your chosen animal on the start space.
- Roll the die and move forward the amount of spaces that are on the die.
- If you land on a space with a silver dot, pick a math card and answer the math problem. Have the "checker" check your problem on a calculator.
- If you get it wrong, move back 5 spaces. If you get it right, stay where you are.
- When you get to the end of the path, you must roll the exact number needed to land in the middle on "Mathanji."
- Stay where you are until you roll the exact number needed.
- The person who gets to the middle first yelling, "Mathanji," wins.
- If you forget to yell, "Mathanji," you must go back nine spaces.
- Good luck and have fun!
