[This is a back-issue of one of this site’s newsletters<\/a>]<\/em><\/p>\n

I’ve just posted rules for a new game online – I posted it on spoonful.com<\/a> rather than Dr Mike’s Math Games for Kids<\/a>, since a lot of my blogging goes there now.<\/p>\n

The game is called Marching Kings<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The rules are simple – the two kings start off on opposite corners, and start marching towards the diagonal. Each time they move, the player chooses a square on the diagonal and how many points it will be worth. The goal? Collect more points than your opponent.<\/p>\n

It’s a simple game to learn. Try it out!<\/p>\n
