Who would love this: Mathematics enthusiasts - young kids and adults!
2 compact card packs– Get it Gold and Get it White! Created by Ari Games in Melbourne, this educational math game features a deceptively simple concept that becomes surprisingly engaging. While it might look unassuming at first glance, it’s a game that captivates both kids and adults alike, offering a clever challenge that stimulates the mind.

Why I love ❤️ this game:
(1) A Math Game For Creativity & Problem-Solving
I wasn’t sure how my 8-year-old would react—this isn’t a hilarious game with eye-catching characters or a thrilling tabletop game experience. Instead, it’s a brainteaser that sharpens quick thinking and math skills. To my surprise, the boy instantly loved it and kept asking to play! The rules are simple: players separate the target and number cards, then use basic math operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) to match the target number. For example, reaching a target of 56 could involve something as simple as 50 + 15 - 9, or something more complex like (15 + 10 + 20 + 5) + (3 x 2). While not all number cards are required, each can only be used once. The game encourages creativity, problem-solving, and developing math skills in an intriguing, fun way.
(2) Two Card Packs For Different Levels of Difficulty
The game comes with two card packs: the white pack (for ages 8 and up, with target numbers between 1 and 100) and the gold pack (for ages 10 and up, with targets between 100 and 1000). Get It! stands out for its simplicity and accessibility, making it perfect for players of all ages and abilities. To level the playing field, we can give more advanced players the gold targets and others the white targets.
(3) Different Variations To Spice Up The Gameplay
Play different variations to spice up the gameplay. In “Reverse Continuous”: Place a target card in the middle and deal two number cards to each player. Players use their cards to reach the target. If no one finds a solution, deal another number card to each player and repeat until someone solves it. The first player to call “GOT IT!” presents their solution. A single-player can also do Solitaire: deal 6 cards and solve each target card in turn from the deck. This is a cleverly-done educational game!
