How to prepare
1 base plate
17 number bricks (4 with “1”, 4 with “2”, 4 with “3”, 4 with “4” and 1 with “5”)
1 number sign brick
1 bowl
Number sign is located on the top left corner of the base plate to indicate the bricks represent numbers.
Place 4 bricks, numbered from “1” to “4”, in cross formation on the base plate.
The 13 other bricks are in the bowl.
Facilitation tips
Remind visually impaired players that other players with vision may be able to see their bricks if they are not hidden.
Possible variations
Change the numbers used e.g. 1, 3, 5, 7 instead of 1, 2, 3, 4.
Make 2 crosses with 8 different numbers.
When unable to match a brick, players take an extra brick from the bowl.
