Description

Numerical from TOMY Games is a numbers game full of surprises. Go head to head or do battle with up to four players. You’ll each start with 10 tiles picked out at random from the bag and hidden from others on your rack. On your turn, see if you can start to build Runs and Sets. A Run is a consecutive string of numbers that runs horizontally across the board from left to right and from 1 to 10, all of the same colour. A Set is made up of four vertical tiles, all the same number, but different colours. Keep your eyes peeled on the board and try to place tiles over Multiplier squares. These boost the points value of that tile two or more times, while Addition squares add crucial points that could be decisive. If you see a chance to add to a Set or a Run, go for it, sometimes adding just one or two tiles for a mega points haul. You can also turn the tables on others by stacking a tile on another and filling in unsuspected gaps. Add to that Rainbow squares that open up options and blank tiles which are wild and you’ll have all kinds of ways to rid your rack of tiles. The player with the most points when no more tiles can go down wins the game. —description from the publisher
