Number Battle
Two words flip — one in Spanish, one in English. Read the number underneath, multiply, and shout the product before the clock runs out. Siete × Eight… ¿rápido?
Number clues show at Rookie, then fade as you climb. The English gloss disappears at Champion — pure Spanish. Need help back? Flip Number clues on.
Sum of 10 Showdown
Two word-cards flip. Decode both — Spanish or English — and decide fast: do they add up to diez? Tap a verdict before the clock runs out.
Number clues show at Rookie, then fade as you rank up. Need them back? Flip Number clues on.
Numbers speak two languages.
Your brain does the translating.
Every card shows a number word — sometimes in Spanish, sometimes in English. Kids translate to the value, then multiply or add. Math fluency and a second language, trained in the same 60 seconds.

1
Translate the card
See “Siete.” Think 7. See “Seven.” Same 7. The word is the clue; the value is what's hiding underneath.

2
Battle the values
Two cards flip. Multiply them — 7 × 3 — and the first to shout 21 wins both cards.

3
Mind the wilds
Flip a wild like Sesenta (60) and you add instead of multiply. Wilds swing the whole round — ¡cuidado!
Every number, two languages.
Language Crusade I hides each value 1–9 inside its Spanish and English name. Learn the pair once and you read the whole deck on sight — en español o in English.
WILD Cards · añade, no multiplica
Flip a wild and its value is added to your opponent's card instead of multiplied — a fast swing that can flip the whole round.
The stories behind the numbers.
Every Spanish number carries a little history and a memory hook. Tap a number to read the connection between the two languages — the thread that makes the word stick.
1Uno · One
Both uno and one descend from the same ancient Indo-European root, oinos. That shared ancestry is why so many "one" words across Europe start with a vowel-heavy sound. Memory hook: uno and unit are cousins — one thing, standing alone.
2Dos · Two
Spanish dos comes from Latin duo, the same root behind English duo, double, and duet. Whenever you see "du-" hiding in a word, there are usually two of something. A pair, a partnership, a bicycle's two wheels.
3Tres · Three
Tres and three both trace to Latin tres / Proto-Germanic thrijiz. The "tr-" survives everywhere: triangle, tricycle, trio. Three points, three wheels, three notes — the shape of stability.
4Cuatro · Four
From Latin quattuor comes both cuatro and English words like quart and quarter. The "cu-/qu-" fingerprint marks the number four across the Romance languages — four seasons, four directions, four suits in a deck.
5Cinco · Five
Cinco (from Latin quinque) and five both count the fingers on one hand. English keeps the Latin cousin in quintet and quintuplets. Five toes, five fingers, five points on a star — the human number.
6Seis · Six
Seis and six both come from Latin sex / Proto-Germanic sehs. It's one of the most stable number words in Europe — the "s" sound barely changed in three thousand years. Six strings on a guitar, six sides on a cube.
7Siete · Seven
From Latin septem comes siete, and from the same source English gets September — once the seventh month of the Roman year. A lucky number in many cultures, and the count of colours in a rainbow.
8Ocho · Eight
Ocho traces to Latin octo, the root of octopus, octagon, and October. Wherever you spot "oct-", count to eight: eight arms, eight sides, eight legs on a spider.
9Nueve · Nine
Nueve comes from Latin novem — the same root as November, the Romans' ninth month, and novena, a nine-day devotion. Nine is the last single digit, the number that loops back to one.
25Veinticinco · Twenty-five
Veinticinco is a tidy compound — veinte (twenty) + cinco (five) — the same way English stacks "twenty" and "five." It's a quarter of one hundred, which is why a U.S. quarter is worth exactly twenty-five cents.
60Sesenta · Sixty
Sesenta builds on seis (six) just as sixty builds on six. Sixty is the ancient Babylonians' favourite number — it divides cleanly more ways than almost any other, which is why we still count sixty seconds in a minute.
100Cien · One hundred
Cien comes from Latin centum, the root of century, percent, and cent. One hundred is the base of the decimal system's second storey — ten tens — and the highest value in this deck. Flip it and the whole round can turn.
