  • 2 markers

  • some paper

  • a 0-9 dice (you can also use playing cards A-9 or numeral cards).

How to play

  • Draw up your game board (in this game, we were working with 3-digit numbers but you can use larger or smaller numbers if you like).

  • Select a multiple of hundred between 100 and 900 to be your target number.

  • The person with the most letters in their surname goes first.

  • Take it in turns to roll the dice and use the digit somewhere in your number.

  • Once the digits are full, players read their number and determine how far they are away from the target number. The player who is closest to the target number wins a point.

  • The winner with the most points after 3 rounds is declared the winner.
