onaclairadeluna Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Hi, My eager daughter came to me (before coffee) with the 100 game board this morning begging me to show her the game but I chose economy shipping (I printed several of the freebies on the site since most are pretty self explanatory). Anyone want to tell me how to play? It will make DD very happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onaclairadeluna Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 Is it this game? http://www.mathgym.com.au/htdocs/japplets/start/start1.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onaclairadeluna Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 Holy cow folks. This game is fun. There is a strategy where the first person plays will always win. You can also play with any number to make it more challenging (pick a number from 1-12 for example). My 14 year old and I spent several minutes making up variations. Try it. Still not sure if this is similar to the original game but it is plenty fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivka Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Each player places a gamepiece (like a coin) on the square marked "start." Players take turns rolling a standard 6-sided die. The number rolled gives the number the player may use to skip-count up the 100 chart on his or her turn. A player may skip ahead up to ten times each turn. For example, if you roll a 5 you may move ahead up to 50 squares by adding 5 ten times. The goal is to be the first person to land on the 100th square. More rules: - You may not go over 100. If you are at 97 and roll a 4, you cannot move. - You may choose not to move after you roll. - Skip-counting by 1 is just counting by 1's. If you roll a 1 you may move ahead up to 10 squares. Strategy hints: On which square would you rather begin your turn? - Square 98 or square 99? - Square 94 or square 95? - Square 70 or square 71? Think about how many ways there are to win from each of the squares listed above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
