Forty Thieves

A board game using cards from a traditional deck, Ace through 10 in four suits, and a 6X6 square grid, and colored pieces of two colors. Each square on the grid is labeled with a number representing all combination of products of the card ranks, e.g. 1 (1X1),2 (2X1),3, 4 (2X2, 4X1)..81 (9X9). Two players take turns play a card from their hands into either one of two rows, and then place a piece of their color into the location on the board matching the product of the two cards. For instance if a 3 is the top most card exposed and they play a 7 they could put a piece into square 21. This continues until a player gets four pieces in a row or the other folds.
