An ever-changing game of strategy where players score by making color patterns, number patterns and number totals. Others enjoy 5Score as a math game.
Recommended Age: 6 and Up Dynamic rules will challenge players of all ages (youngsters, teens and adults)
 
Much more than either a card or board game, 5SCORE is a lively and challenging game of strategy that will continually test players' powers of observation - no matter how many times the game is played!

There are any one of five possible ways to score on a turn, and often two or three of those opportunities will present themselves simultaneously, making it possible to score additional points, if players are observant enough to notice them! The challenge is to spot single or multiple scoring opportunities.

The beauty of this game is that players can "grow" with 5SCORE; as skills improve, more strategies unfold and become evident, multiple opportunities become more apparent, and the game stretches, flexes, and develops with the player.

Quick start-to-finish rounds make 5SCORE wonderful for tournament play. For 2 to 6 players ages adult to age 6 (special rules for early learners included).

This board game presents an ever-changing challenge that entertains your whole brain. Each game includes three rule variations for multiple challenges and skill levels, including advanced and early learners. It's a great math game that even people who are not very good with numbers or don't like math at all still love! It's not difficult, it's just great fun!

There are five ways to score on every turn! Create winning three-card combinations of numbers and colors. Score more by making more than one winning combination at the same time.

5SCORE is more than just a scoring game; however, it's a multifaceted, multi-tiered game of strategy that will develop and reinforce powers of observation, strengthen math skills, stimulate critical thinking, and enhance tactical proficiency, as players attempt to foil opponents' scoring opportunities, while planning and setting up their own next move in as advantageous a manner as possible.

Another unique patent pending game from Thing-o.

The National Parenting Center Seal of Approval Winner - "This board game will have your brain doing back flips. What is unique about 5Score is that the mix of math and strategy is just as challenging for first graders as it is for their parents. By thinking about patterns, multiples and colors, players race through the course with their minds in high gear. The game is quick, loads of fun, and really quite ingenious. Challenging but never frustrating, 5Score is a big hit that you will love playing together with your children."
