Top Marks for this maths Card game

PLAY AGAINST THE GAME, NOT EACH OTHER

In Times Square, everyone either wins or loses together. Cooperative play ensures confident players can support teammates who are struggling, suggesting different ways of using the dice, or game tactics, but the final decision is always left to the current player!

Did you know…

• Times Square is a complete maths card game and comes with everything you need to play.

You can use cards from Times Square with the City of Zombies board game and vice versa. Some of the icons on the Zombie cards are only used in City of Zombies.

There are 3 different maths card games included, and each game can be made easier or harder with a few simple changes to the rules, it’s all in the rulebook.

You can play competitively if you want. Each player collects the Zombies that they defeat. The player who has defeated the most Zombies at the end of the game is the winner.

We’ve worked with Colour Blind Awareness to ensure that Times Square (and City of Zombies) works with all types of colour blindness.

Kids pretending to be Zombies!

“I was inspired to create a times tables maths card game that worked in a similar way to my first maths game, City of Zombies. I’d been asked if I could create a times tables game with Zombies that go up to 144, which is what Times Square focuses on.

I wanted a game that could be easily carried around and was quick to set up and play. Times Square is perfect for a quick 10 to 20 minute game for 1 to 6 players”

Matthew Tidbury ~ ThinkNoodle Games

Playing Times Square allows children practice and apply the 12 times table in a fun, engaging, and entertaining way. Anyone can play using the maths they know, while the game encourages and rewards players for learning new maths skills at the same time.

The game is perfect to play at home, in game, or after school clubs. It is used in primary and secondary schools across the UK and beyond!
