Objective: to collect the most cards
Directions:
1. Lay five cards face up in the middle of the playing surface. Turn one more card over to show the "Target Number".
2. Players take turns trying to make the target number using addition and subtraction. Players want to use as many of the 5 cards as they can to make the target number.
For example: a player could say 6 + 3 = 9 and take those three cards or they could say 8 + 6 - 2 - 3 + 0 = 9 and take all six cards. Players want to try and use as many cards as they can because at the end of the game, the player with the most cards is the winner.
3. When a player's turn has ended, the next player will turn over however many cards are needed to reset the 5 cards face up and a new target number.
If a player doesn't see a way to make the target number, another player can 'steal' the turn. In the event that none of the players see a way to make the target number, the player whose turn it is will turn over a new target number and get a chance to go again.
To Win
When all the cards have been used (or there are no more cards to make a target number) each player counts up the cards they have collected. The player with the most cards is the winner.
