Game Overview
- 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.
