Two cards flip. Decode both, do the math, fire before the clock does. The deck adjusts to you as you go — no level picker, no menus.
Six drills off the same deck.
Division, subtraction, estimation, nerve, number bonds, doubling. Same Presidents, same Amendments — six different ways to think about them. Each drill keeps its own rank and its own best score.
One rule runs the whole deck:
the number is the place in line.
Andrew Jackson was the seventh President. The Seventh Amendment is seventh in the Bill of Rights. Both cards are worth 7. Kids decode the card, then multiply or add — history and math pulling on the same rope.

Decode the card
See James Madison, think 4. See the Fourth Amendment, think 4. Two disguises, one value.

2
Battle the values
Two cards flip. Multiply them — 7 × 3 — and the first to say 21 takes both cards. Younger players add instead.

Wilds change the math
Lincoln (16), the 13th Amendment (13) and the rest are the deck’s big numbers. Flip one and the round becomes addition — no runaway products.
Nine numbers. Two disguises each.
Learn the ladder once and you can read every card in the deck on sight — the first nine Presidents down one side, the first nine Amendments down the other.
Powers not handed to the federal government stay with the states and the people. It sits out of the multiplication pools — it is the card that names the target in Sum of 10.
WILD Cards · the big numbers
Same rule, further down the line. In a multiplication battle a wild flips the round to addition; in addition and doubling it is simply a large number.
The stories behind the numbers.
Every value carries a President and a right. Tap a number to read what each one actually did — the reason the two cards share a place in line.
1George Washington · First Amendment
Washington took office in 1789 as the only President ever elected unanimously by the Electoral College, then stepped down after two terms and set the precedent that held for a century and a half. The First Amendment protects five freedoms in a single sentence: religion, speech, press, assembly, and the right to petition the government.
2John Adams · Second Amendment
Adams, the second President, was the first to live in the White House — he moved into an unfinished building in 1800. The Second Amendment ties the right to keep and bear arms to the era’s citizen militias, and it has been argued over in courtrooms ever since.
3Thomas Jefferson · Third Amendment
Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence, then as third President doubled the size of the country with the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. The Third Amendment bars the government from housing soldiers in private homes in peacetime — a direct answer to British practice, and the least-litigated amendment in the Bill of Rights.
4James Madison · Fourth Amendment
Madison is called the Father of the Constitution, and he wrote the amendments that became the Bill of Rights before serving as the fourth President. Fitting company for the Fourth Amendment, which protects people from unreasonable searches and seizures and requires warrants to rest on probable cause.
5James Monroe · Fifth Amendment
Monroe’s two terms were quiet enough to earn the nickname the Era of Good Feelings, and his 1823 Monroe Doctrine warned Europe away from the Americas. The Fifth Amendment packs in due process, grand juries, protection from double jeopardy, and the right to stay silent — the origin of “pleading the Fifth.”
6John Quincy Adams · Sixth Amendment
The son of John Adams served one term as President, then spent seventeen years in the House of Representatives, where he argued the Amistad case before the Supreme Court and won freedom for the captives. The Sixth Amendment guarantees a speedy public trial, an impartial jury, a lawyer, and the right to face your accusers.
7Andrew Jackson · Seventh Amendment
Jackson was the first President from outside Virginia and Massachusetts, a populist who fought the national bank — and who signed the Indian Removal Act, forcing tens of thousands of Native people west along the Trail of Tears. The Seventh Amendment preserves the right to a jury in civil cases, the ones where people sue each other rather than face criminal charges.
8Martin Van Buren · Eighth Amendment
Van Buren was the first President born a citizen of the United States rather than a British subject, and the organizer who built the modern Democratic Party. The Eighth Amendment bans excessive bail, excessive fines, and cruel and unusual punishment.
9William Henry Harrison · Ninth Amendment
Harrison holds the shortest presidency in American history — he fell ill and died about a month after his 1841 inauguration, triggering the first question of how power passes to a Vice President. The Ninth Amendment answers a similar what-if: just because a right is not written down does not mean the people do not have it.
10Tenth Amendment · the bonus card
Powers the Constitution does not hand to the federal government are reserved to the states or to the people. It closes the Bill of Rights, and on this page it names the target in the Sum of 10 drill.
1313th Amendment · Abolition
Ratified in December 1865, the 13th Amendment abolished slavery throughout the United States — the first of the three Reconstruction Amendments and the constitutional finish to what the Emancipation Proclamation began.
1414th Amendment · Equal Protection
The 14th, ratified in 1868, made everyone born in the country a citizen and required every state to give all people due process and equal protection of the laws. It is the amendment most often argued in modern civil rights cases.
1515th Amendment · Voting Rights
Ratified in 1870, the 15th barred states from denying the vote on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. Enforcing it took another century of struggle, ending in the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
16Abraham Lincoln · 16th President
Lincoln led the country through the Civil War, issued the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, and made the case for the whole experiment in two minutes at Gettysburg. He pushed the 13th Amendment through Congress weeks before the war ended.
1919th Amendment · Women’s Suffrage
Ratified in 1920 after roughly seventy years of organizing, marching, and arrests, the 19th Amendment barred states from denying the vote on account of sex.
26Teddy Roosevelt · 26th President
Roosevelt broke up monopolies, pushed through the first federal food and drug safety laws, and protected roughly 230 million acres of public land — national forests, monuments, and bird reserves.
32Franklin D. Roosevelt · 32nd President
Elected four times, FDR met the Great Depression with the New Deal and led the country through most of World War II. His long run is the reason the 22nd Amendment now caps a President at two terms.
35John F. Kennedy · 35th President
Kennedy steered the Cuban Missile Crisis to a peaceful end in 1962 and set the goal of landing a person on the Moon before the decade was out — a promise kept in 1969, six years after his assassination.
