Find Your Number
Arithmetically build a math sequence to share information
Objective: The goal is for every player to determine their number.
Gameplay:
- It is a turn based game, the youngest player starts, and turns proceed clockwise.
- Each person has a unique number between 1 and 50. You know everyone’s number except your own.
- The team wins if everyone successfully guesses their own number
- On a given turn, you can do as many of the below as you’d like:
-
Guess your own number.
- If guessed correctly, the game continues with the remaining players.
- As a team, if someone guesses incorrectly, you all lose.
-
Roll two dice and perform an arithmetic operation using the two values to change the base.
- E.g., if the base is currently 12, and you roll a 4 and a 6, the new base can be 14 (12 + 6 - 4) for the next player
- Give one hint (among a maximum of four previously agreed upon hints).
- Players should meet beforehand to give meaning to each hint, e.g. “plus_one” could mean “the current value of base is 1 bigger than some player’s value”
- Point to someone
-
Guess your own number.
- There are two rounds of gameplay, after which the game ends.
- Note that you can only guess your number on your turn, so earlier players may not be able to go twice.
- As with most cooperative games, come up with a convention, i.e. a strategy the team players follow, before playing.
