Henolfs Rechenwürfelspiel
(1948)
About
The math problems are determined by rolling two dice. The color die determines the game space, while the number die determines the specific math problem to be solved within that space (indicated by small numbers 1 through 6 in the right-hand corner). Each problem appears twice: once in the color assigned to that number — helping the child find the correct solution — and once marked with a “?” symbol, encouraging the child to think and learn. Therefore, the child must first be allowed to solve the problem in the colored space. A playing piece must be placed on each math problem: green and blue pieces for correct solutions, and red and yellow pieces for incorrect ones. If a player rolls a number corresponding to a space that already has a playing piece on it, they may roll again. If a player correctly solves a problem marked with a black “?” symbol, they may roll again. If a player incorrectly solves a problem marked with a white “?” symbol, they must skip a turn. A player who places 20 green or blue pieces (representing correct solutions) receives a reward agreed upon at the start of the game. The winner is the player who has the most correct solutions at the end of the game, or the first to achieve at least 36 correct solutions. —user summary
