Theme Formula is a fun card game for the whole family. It is an educational maths game. Goal The goal is to be the first to get rid of all your cards. You can get rid of your cards by making a formula and giving the right answer. Game Play The game is simple. Every player starts with 7 cards. Each card has a number between 0-9. Open on the table there are "operator" cards with a +, -, x, : and = sign. On your turn you put down a maximum of 3 cards from your hand to make a fomula that is correct. You put your cards on top of the cards that the previous player has played. For example, you can put down "3 + 5 = 8". The next person can use your cards to make a new formula or replace the formula entirely, so the next person could for example make "3 x 4 = 12" whereby the 3 was not changed, but the 4, the 1 and the 2 are newly played cards. Also the + sign was exchanged for the x sign. —description from the publisher
