The Quick Counting Shapes Game
Up and Atom! Fasten your safety goggles for this
high-energy card game of quick counting and fast figuring. Race against
your opponents to count the total number of spheres hidden among a random
group of colorful 3-D shapes. Once you figure out the total, be the first
to lay down the correct combination of number cards showing the exact
amount. The player with the most Quarx cards at the end of the game wins.
We love the challenge of a good fast playing game. What makes Quarx
even more enthralling is the fact that it’s not just a game about speed
but also about accuracy. In order to win at Quarx, you must be precise on
two different levels – visually as well as arithmetically. First, it
takes a couple of keen eyes in order to pick out the spheres from the
confusion of shapes on the Quarx cards. Then, you need to do some quick
mental math and figure out how to represent the exact total using only a
static group of numbers (1,2,4,8,16). Quick counting, fast figuring - all
the elements for fun!
