You will need:

• Playing cards from Ace to 9 (where Ace = 1) or a 4 sets of 1-9 cards you’ve made at home.

Instructions

• Players shuffle the cards and put them in a central pile. One person takes 6 cards and places them face up for everyone to see.
• The goal is to use addition and subtraction to get as close to a total of 100 as possible.
• Each card can only be used once. It can be used to form a 1- or 2-digit number.
• Players score 0 points if they are able to reach exactly 100. Otherwise, they work out their points based on the difference between their total and 100. For example, if a team created a total of 98, they would score 2 points.
• Keep a cumulative total of their difference to 100. The winner is the team to have the lowest points score at the end.
