Directions for the game

 Pick a board:

CONTiG or CONTiG Jr. (easier)

 CONTiG Directions:

1.   Roll 3 dice and mark the sum of the 3 dice as the starter square.

2.   Each player rolls the 3 dice and uses operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) and all three dice numbers to form a new number on the CONTiG board. Put an X on this number.

3.   Score 1 point for each marked square your new number touches.

4.   Play 8 rounds.

5.   Player with the highest score wins the game.

CONTiG Jr. Directions:

1. The first player tosses 3 regular dice. The player may add all 3 together, add two of the numbers and subtract the third, etc. to get an answer using all 3 dice.

2. The player marks that number with an X and scores 1 point for the round.

3.  Player 2 then tosses the 3 dice and uses the 3 numbers and the operations of addition and subtraction to make a new number. Player 2 marks that number with an X and scores 1 point.

4. If Player 2 can make a number that touches Player 1’s number on the board, Player 2 scores an additional point.

5.  Play continues with players trying to form numbers that touch the X’s on the board so that they get extra points. Player with the most points wins.

After finishing the game, please wipe off the boards!
