Missing Card

Four extra drills that plug the gaps the battles leave open — division, subtraction, estimation, and nerve — all off the same deck.

Tap the card that completes the sentence. It’s division — without the word.

The twist

Numbers wear costumes.
Your brain does the unmasking.

Every card shows a fact from real life. A rainbow is 7, an insect has 6 legs, a cat has 9 lives. Read the picture, recall the number, then multiply or add — language and math working the same muscle.

  1. 1

    Read the card

    See a rainbow. Recall it has 7 colors. The picture is the clue; the number hides underneath.

  2. 2

    Battle the numbers

    Two cards flip. Multiply them — 7 × 3 — and the first to shout 21 wins both. Flip a Wild and you add instead.

  3. 3

    Four ways to play

    Win rounds, take cards, climb from Private to General. Younger players switch to addition, sums of ten, or doubling — same deck.

The decoder key

Every number, two disguises.

General Engagement I hides each value 1–9 inside two familiar facts. Learn the pair once and you read the whole deck on sight.

WILD Cards — add before you multiply

Straight from the printed rules: flip a Wild and you ADD its value to your opponent’s card instead of multiplying. That rewards the big card without putting 7 × 60 on the table.
