Can be challenging, and rules may need to be altered, but overall a fun game with a good amount of math involved. Suggestions include: allow the students to work the problems in any order necessary to get the answer, no stealing or trading with other players, allow student to exchange tiles if they have drawn a particularly difficult set of numbers. All trading stealing can be done from a communal pile in the middle of the board. One volunteer per board is best.
