Number Sense: A Card Game

What You Do:

1. One player serves as the dealer. This player shuffles the cards and distributes 4 cards to each player. This is their hand. The remaining cards are placed face down in the center of the play area.
2. Player 1 must turn over the top card from the deck and place it face up in a discard pile. If any players, excepting player 1, have a matching card(s), they must add it to the discard pile. After all matches have been played, the next player takes a turn from the deck.
3. Play until only one player has cards left or the deck is depleted. The player with the most cards left wins.

Variations:

• Play multiple rounds before deciding on a winner. Play best out of 3 rounds, or award one point for each round won.
• Deal every player more cards. (Let’s say, 5. Or 6.) Use two decks if playing with a large group.
• The first player to match all of their cards wins.
