I’ve always been a fan of board games. When my mom gave me and my sister a Millionaire’s Game board, we were hooked. Though I had preferred quiz games or Snakes and Ladders, math board games also had an appeal to me.
One such game was “damath”, which I played in school (as a class requirement, actually). It combined checkers and mathematical operations and was played on a chess board. Tokens were numbered and these numbers were effectively the points you win or lose by adding, subtracting, multiplying or dividing, depending on which square you land. It was fun to rack up scores ranging from positive one million to negative five million. The winner, of course, is the one who ends with the highest score after all the “chips” have been “eaten”.
