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.

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 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 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' brings 8+1+5+1+2+0, so 17, victory points)

 ==Placement Rules==
-On your turn, play tiles from your hand (5 tiles) to form at least one mathematically correct equation.
+*- On your turn you can make only one sum.
-*'''Connection:''' At least one placed tile must be adjacent to a tile already on the board.
+*- Each new sum contains at least 1 block from your hand and at least 1 block already at the table.
-*'''Equations:''' Every equation must contain exactly one equals sign (=) per linear sequence (e.g., 2 + 3 = 5 or 4 = 4).
+*- Each sum is read from left to right or top to bottom.
-*'''Direction:''' Equations are 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.
-*'''Complexity:''' You can use multiple operators in a row (e.g., 1 + 1 + 2 = 4).
+*- The space before and after a sum must be and remain empty.
+*- Each sum must contain exactly one equals sign (''''='''<nowiki/>').
-==Turn Structure==
+*- Before the ''''='''<nowiki/>' must be one (example: '<nowiki/>'''1+2=3'''<nowiki/>') or more (example: ''''1+2+3=6'''<nowiki/>') operators.
-A turn consists of three steps:
+*- After the ''''='''<nowiki/>' must be a number only.
-#'''Play Tiles:''' Place any number of tiles from your hand onto the board.
+*- Numbers in sums consist of 1 or more digits. (example: '8x15=120')
-# '''Score Points:''' Calculate points for all new or modified equations (see below).
+*- Multiplying ('''x''') and dividing (''':''') get executed before adding ('''+''') and subtracting ('''–''').
-# '''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==
+==End of the 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.
+The game ends when all players don't make a sum while the stock of blocks is empty.
-*'''Winning:''' The player with the highest total score wins.
+==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)
