Defensive Struggle, Multiplication Style!

What You Do:

1. Create the game board by printing out two copies of the attachment and taping them together to create a 4x4 grid.
2. Remove all the aces, twos, threes, and fours from the deck. Divide the aces through fours into red and black cards. Give each player (or team) either the red or black aces through fours.
3. Players take turns placing any one of their cards in an empty space on the game board.
4. Whenever a player finishes a line of four cards (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) that has a product of 24 (e.g. 1 x 2 x 3 x 4 = 24), that player earns 1 point.
5. Play continues until all spaces on the board are filled. The player with the most points wins.

Variations:

• Play until 10 points. Each time the board is filled, clear it, redistribute the cards, and keep going.
• Play best out of 3 rounds or best out of 5 rounds.
• Use a 3x3 board and only Ace through 3s (Product = 6). Or use a 5x5 board with Ace through 5s (Product = 120)
