Build equations and add them onto the playing field using all four basic operators: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Sumology is a fast-paced tile placement game where two or more players ages 8 and up take turns playing tiles to build equations by combining new and existing tiles. This game will sharpen your child’s math skills and teach them to think on their feet and strategize to score as many points as possible.
Evaluation comments:
“My first impression of Sumology was that it was a beautiful math game. It is the mathematical equivalent of the game Scrabble. The game comes with 96 colorfully painted wooden tiles with numbers, operators, and equal signs. They come in a classic wooden box that fits all the tiles nicely and without overcrowding.”
“There is a lot of math involved in this game. It’s not just making valid equations, it’s also totaling the equation’s numbers to get your score.”
“This is an incredibly high quality game. From the wooden tiles to the wooden box, you can tell that a lot of work was put into making this game. The numbers are brightly colored and easy to recognize the difference between the 6s and 9s thanks to a line drawn under them.”
“The directions are easy to follow and teach you how to simplify the game for younger kids by taking away the multiplication and division operators.”
“It’s hard to get my kids excited about a math board game, but they did really like the tiles. I really liked how it reinforces their math knowledge and how it makes you think of whole equations rather than sums alone.”
“This is a phenomenal game.”
“This would be an amazing resource for any classroom. The tiles alone can be used for so many things.”
