Spiral: A Multiplication Game

What You Do:

1. Build a spiral game board with all 52 cards, face up. Start in the center and work your way out.
2. Players each select a place marker and place it in the center of the spiral on the very first card. This is the starting point.
3. Each player takes a turn rolling the die. They must multiply the number of the die times the value of the card they are on. If they are correct, they may move ahead the number on the die. If incorrect, they may not move. Face cards have the following values: ace = 1, jack = 11, queen = 12, king = 13.
4. If a player lands on the same card as another player, they may send the other player back to start.
5. The first player to make it past the last card wins.

Variations:

• Make the multiplication easier and change the value of all face cards to 10.
• Add jokers, and have them equal zero.
• Use two dice and multiply all 3 numbers.
• Change the value of the cards so the black cards are positive numbers and the red cards represent negative numbers.
• Require the winning player to land exactly on the last card.
