| At Any Ratio (2–4 Players) Materials Needed: • deck of playing cards • two twelve-sided dice 1. Remove the kings from the deck of cards. One player deals the remaining cards equally to each player. • Aces represent 1s, jacks represent 11s, and queens represent 12s. • Other cards represent their face numbers. 2. Each player begins with 10 points. Each player rolls one die to decide who will play first. The player with the highest roll goes first. If there is a tie, roll again. 3. The first player rolls the two dice and determines the ratio between the two numbers rolled. The player looks for cards in his or her hand that form an equivalent ratio in lowest terms. Any cards that show the same ratio in lowest terms are placed on the table. Example: Sunita rolls the ratio 8 : 12. She has a 2 and a 3 in her hand. This is the ratio of 8 : 12 expressed in lowest terms. She puts the 2 and the 3 on the table. 4. The other players check the cards on the table. If the ratio is correct and is in lowest terms, the player is awarded 1 point. If the ratio is incorrect, or is not in lowest terms, the player loses 1 point. 5. Play moves to the next player. Play ends when one player runs out of cards or after an agreed upon time limit. The winner is the player with the most points at the end of the game. |
