Cwali: Minor editting my own rules text.

== Core Mechanisms ==
* '''Sums:''' Players place blocks with a digit ( '''0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9''' ) or a mathematical symbol ( '''+ – x : =''' ) to form sums.
* '''Crosssum:''' A block can be part of 2 sums (1 horizontal and 1 vertical).
*'''Not like SCRABBLE:''' When sums are parallel adjacent, the connected blocks don't need to form a sum!
*'''Score:''' Each digit in a formed sum earns you points equal to the digit.

== Turn Structure ==
'''1)''' Use blocks to '''make a sum'''. '''Or discard''' blocks (these go out of the game).

'''2) Score the digits''' in your sum as points'''.'''

'''3) Refill your hand''' to 8 blocks again'''.'''

== Contents ==
* Blocks with a '''0''', '''1''', '''2''', '''3''', '''4''', '''5''', '''6''', '''7''', '''8''', or '''9.''' (6 of each)
* Blocks with a '''+''', '''–''', '''x,''' or ''':'''. (5 of each)
*Blocks with an '''='''. (14)

== Preparation ==
* Place an ''''='''<nowiki/>' in the middle of the table.
* Mix the other 93 blocks and deal each player a hand of 8 blocks.

==Placement Rules==
*- On your turn you can make only one sum.
*- Each new sum contains at least 1 block from your hand and at least 1 block already at the table.
*- Each sum is read from left to right or top to bottom.
*- Sums can lay parallel adjacent. The parallel adjacent blocks don't have to form a sum.
*- The space before and after a sum must be and remain empty.
*- Each sum must contain exactly one equals sign (''''='''<nowiki/>').
*- Before the ''''='''<nowiki/>' must be one (example: '<nowiki/>'''1+2=3'''<nowiki/>') or more (example: ''''1+2+3=6'''<nowiki/>') operators.
*- After the ''''='''<nowiki/>' must be a number only.
*- Numbers in sums consist of 1 or more digits. (example: '8x15=120')
*- Multiplying ('''x''') and dividing (''':''') get executed before adding ('''+''') and subtracting ('''–''').

==End of the Game==
The game ends when all players don't make a sum while the stock of blocks is empty.
==Score==
For each sum, you score all its digits as victory points. (example: The sum ''''8x15=120'''<nowiki/>' brings 8+1+5+1+2+0, so '''17''', victory points)

Cwali: Someone placed the rules of a different game. I placed the right rules complete now.

== Core Mechanisms ==
* '''Sums:''' Players place digits ( 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ) and mathematical symbols ( + / – / x / : / = ) to form sums.
* '''Intersections:''' Blocks can be part of 2 sums (horizontal and vertical).
*'''Not like SCRABBLE:''' In parallel adjacent sums the adjacent tiles don't have to form a sum!
*'''Score:''' Each digit in a formed sum earns you points equal to the digit.

== Turn Structure ==
#'''Use blocks to make a sum. Or discard blocks (these go out of the game).'''
# '''Score the digits in your sum as points.'''
# '''Refill your hand to 8 blocks again.'''

== Contents ==
* Blocks with a '''0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9'''. (6 of each)
* Blocks with a '''+, –, x,''' or ''':'''. (5 of each)
*Blocks with an '''='''. (14)

== Preparation ==
* Place an '=' in the middle of the table.
* Mix the other 93 blocks and deal each player a hand of 8 blocks.

==Placement Rules==
*On your turn you can make only one mathematically correct sum.
*Each new sum contains at least 1 block from your hand and at least 1 block already at the table.
*Each sum is read from left to right or top to bottom.
*Sums can lay parallel adjacent. The parallel adjacent blocks don't have to form a sum.
*The space before and after a sum must be and remain empty.
*Each sum must contain exactly one equals sign ('=').
*Before the '=' must be one (example: '1+2=3') or more (example: '1+2+3=6') operators.
*After the '=' must be only a number.
*Numbers in sums consist of 1 or more digits. (example: '8x15=120')
*Multiplying (x) and dividing (:) get executed before adding (+) and subtracting (–).

==End of the Game==
The game ends when all players don't make a sum while the stock of blocks is empty.
==Score==
For each sum, you score all its digits as victory points. (example: The sum '8x15=120' brings 8+1+5+1+2+0, so 17, victory points)

Cwali: Someone placed the rules of an other game here. I place the right rules now, saving halfway now.

== Core Mechanisms ==
* '''Sums:''' Players place digits ( 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ) and mathematical symbols ( + / – / x / : / = ) to form sums.
* '''Intersections:''' Blocks can be part of 2 sums (horizontal and vertical).
*'''Not like SCRABBLE:''' In parallel adjacent sums the adjacent tiles don't have to form a sum!
*'''Score:''' Each digit in a formed sum earns you points equal to the digit.

== Turn Structure ==
#'''Use blocks to make a sum. Or discard blocks (these go out of the game).'''
# '''Score the digits in your sum as points.'''
# '''Refill your hand to 8 blocks again.'''

== Contents ==
* Blocks with a 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9. (6 of each)
* Blocks with a +, –, x, or :. (5 of each)
*Blocks with an =. (14 of these)

==Placement Rules==
On your turn, play tiles from your hand (5 tiles) to form at least one mathematically correct equation.
*'''Connection:''' At least one placed tile must be adjacent to a tile already on the board.
*'''Equations:''' Every equation must contain exactly one equals sign (=) per linear sequence (e.g., 2 + 3 = 5 or 4 = 4).
*'''Direction:''' Equations are read from left to right or top to bottom.
*'''Complexity:''' You can use multiple operators in a row (e.g., 1 + 1 + 2 = 4).

==Turn Structure==
A turn consists of three steps:
#'''Play Tiles:''' Place any number of tiles from your hand onto the board.
# '''Score Points:''' Calculate points for all new or modified equations (see below).
# '''Refill Hand:''' Draw new tiles from the bag until you have 5 cards/tiles again.

==Scoring System ==
*'''Base Points:''' Each tile that is part of a new or modified equation scores **1 point**.
* '''Result Bonus:''' The number to the right of the equals sign (the sum) is added to the score.
**''Example:'' For "2 + 3 = 5", you get 5 points (for 5 tiles) + 5 points (the result) = 10 points.
*'''Double Scoring:''' If a tile is part of both a horizontal and a vertical equation, it is scored for both.
*'''Bonus Squares:''' Some board spaces double or triple the value of a tile or the entire equation score.

==End of Game==
The game ends when the bag is empty and one player has used all their tiles, or when no more legal moves can be made.
*'''Winning:''' The player with the highest total score wins.
