Description

Your favorite word game, minus the words.

Instead of letters, the tiles are numbers, and instead of forming words, each sequence of tiles has to add up to five or a multiple of five, and no sequences may be more than five tiles long.

How to Play

The Basics

Each player draws five tiles for their rack.
The first player places a sequence of one or more of their tiles on the board which sum to five or a multiple of five, with one of the tiles on the center square.
The next player, and then each player in turn, adds a sequence of one or more of their own tiles to the board, intersecting with tiles already in play.
All sequences of two or more tiles that are completed, both horizontally and vertically, must add up to multiples of five.
Sequences may never be more than five tiles in length.
At the end of each turn, players draw new tiles to replace the ones played.

Scoring

The score for each play is the sum of the number tiles in sequences completed on that turn, plus any bonuses.
Bonuses are earned on the turn in which a player places a tile on a bonus square.
Bonus squares with a plus sign add to the score for the sequence.
Bonus squares with a multiplication sign multiply the score of the entire sequence.

Winning

The game ends when a player plays all of their remaining tiles and there are no more tiles left to draw.
The other players lose five points for each tile they have left when the game ends.
The player with the highest total score wins.
