BLM: Hit the Target (13.0K)


1. Print and cut out the four cards on BLM: Hit the Target.

2. Remove the queens, kings, and jokers from a pack of playing cards. • Aces represent 1s, and jacks represent 0s. • Other cards represent their face numbers. Use two coins per player as decimal points.

3. One player starts by dealing four playing cards to each player, and turning over one of the target cards.

4. Players use their four numbered cards and the two coins to form two decimal numbers. • The objective is to form two numbers with a product closest to the target card. • The player closest to the target card wins all 8 cards. • In case of a tie, players retrieve their own cards.

5. Play moves clockwise. For the second round, each player is dealt 4 new numbered cards and a new target card is turned over.

6. When all four target cards have been played, the game ends.

7. The player with the most playing cards at the end of the game is the winner.
