How to Play

  • The Number Wonders board
  • Either the Number Wonders e-book (standard edition), or box of cards (de-luxe edition), which contains 100 cards with a Number Wonder fact on one side and five related questions on the other.
  • A mobile phone, tablet or other device to read the e-book

When you Get the Game, we’ll send you the board, game pieces, dice and cards. (If you’ve bought the deluxe edition, we’ll send you the box of physical cards; if you’ve chosen the standard edition, we’ll email you a link to download the e-book with digital cards.)

  • Number Wonders is a game for two or more players or teams based around fascinating facts about numbers. Everyone takes turns to be the Question Master (QM) and ask the questions; every answer is a number – whoever gets the answer right, or the closest answer, earns points to move forward on the board.
  • In most rounds, the QM will read three possible answers; if you think you know, or can guess the exact answer, shout “Guestimates” to earn more points; the QM will not give the possible answers. But be careful! You’ll lose points if you call a Guestimates round and your answer is wrong.
  • The first player to reach or pass 100 wins the game. Keep playing to find out who comes in second and third!

After the game, you might find it fun to ask each other how many facts everyone remembers.
