Math Path Monster is a cooperative game for 2-4 players from ages 6 years and takes about 20-30 minutes to play. It's a race between players and monsters to get all of the explorers out of the cave before the monster gets there. During a turn, players will roll all four dice, and then choose two to create an equation on the Math Monster’s math board while using the other two to generate an equation on the explorer math board. The boards are double-sided with addition on one side and subtraction on the other and you can use either side you want. Once the dice are placed, solve the equations and first move any one explorer to the next space showing the answer to their equation. What makes this game - well, a game - is that there's strategy involved and it's not simply moving a piece x number of spaces. It's strategizing to discover what equation moves a player the furtherest and which keeps the monster at bay. Note that the explorers and monster are not moved the number of spaces equal to the answer. For instance, if the equation is 5-2, they don’t necessarily move 3 spaces. Instead, they move to the next space on the board that shows that answer. There are special spaces that get you bonus cards and others that speed you along on your next turn. Good thing you have a team to help you create the winning equations!
