The winner of the game is the player or partnership who plays all their cards. Whenever a player is out of cards for the particular set being played and has no wild cards, she must draw cards from the stock until she can play a card. As you can see, this gives the players lots of chances to switch things around and get rid of their cards. Since 9, 16, 36, 64, and 81 are our wild cards, we actually have nine cards to be “wild”: two 9-cards from the 3s and 9s sets, two 16-cards from the 4s and 8s sets, three 36-cards from the 4s, 6s, and 9s sets, 64 from the 8s, and 81 from the 9s. Remember, many cards belong to more that one set. When someone plays a wild card, he calls the new set. The next player must either play a card from the same set or play a wild card. Since he’s called 4s, he’s going to lay down the 24. He plays a card from his hand to the discard pile following the called set. If the starting card can be from more than one multiplication set, the first player decides which set he wants it to be and calls that set. The players take turns playing to the discard pile. If the top card happens to be a wild card, hide it somewhere in the middle of the deck and turn over another card. The top card is turned up to start the discard pile. The remaining cards form the stock and are placed face down in the middle of the table. Shuffle the 50 cards (ten cards from our five sets) and deal seven cards if two are playing or five cards if more than two people are playing. Remember the wild cards are the squares of the multiples, so 9, 16, 36, 64, and 81 will be our wild cards. We’re going to use the 3s, 4s, 6s, 8s, and 9s for our game here. Make sure all the players know which multiplication sets are being used. Using the multiplication cards, select five multiple sets. Two to six people can play as individuals or as partners. I have it here for you as well as shown below. To help the children with the recognition of the multiplies, use a multiplication chart or the Short Multiplication table found in the back of the Math Card Games book. The wild cards are the squares of the multiples being used in the game! In this game, the wild cards aren’t eights or the special marked Uno cards. ![]() It’s a multiplication game played like Crazy Eights. So let’s keep the crazy going and play Crazy Squares this week!Ĭrazy Squares can be found in the Math Card Games book, game P23. Summer is in full swing and should be filled with crazy fun.
