"Mathematics is not about numbers, equations, computations or algorithms, It is about UNDERSTANDING.

ADD-IT is a great game for boosting math skills while also having fun! It’s designed to engage players of different ages, making it versatile for family or classroom settings. ADD-IT is focused on basic addition, allowing players to identify terms for adding numbers by breaking larger numbers into smaller groups.  Play in groups of two, three or four and ADD-IT to collect the most cards! 

IN THE DECK:

• There are a total of 60 cards in a deck, six sets of ten cards. In addition, there is an information card (not used for the game).
• Each set is numbered 1 through 10, using distinct sports symbols for differentiation.

RULES OF PLAY:

• Shuffle the deck.
• Deal (clockwise) six cards to each player (one by one).
• Lay 12 cards face-up on a flat surface (e.g. table).
• Lay the remaining cards to the side (face-down) down, to be used for future dealings.
• Play one card at a time and collect (together with the card played) additional cards from the table.  See below, COLLECTING CARDS.
• The first player will play the first card, looking to collect as many cards as possible from the table. Once collected, the player will start building a stack of ‘collected cards’ laying them aside. 
• If there are no cards to be collected, the player must lay on the table one card from his own hand.
• It is not mandatory to collect a combination, even if the player has cards allowing him to collect from the table. The player can choose to wait for the next round if it looks to be more advantageous.
• When the first player is done, continue with the next player (clockwise), who will also look for opportunities to collect as many cards as possible.
• When all cards have been played by all players after the first round, a new hand of 6 cards is dealt to all players, and the game continues following the same rules. 
• At the end of the game, after the last round, when all cards have been played and there are no cards left to deal, the player who collected the last card(s) will also collect the remaining cards from the table.

    **Note!** If there are 3 players, each player will be dealt 4 cards for the last round, instead of 6.

COLLECTING CARDS:

     Collecting cards can be done in one of the two following ways (examples below):

• collect one card that has the same number as the card played. If there are two or more cards with the same number on the table, the player can collect only one of them. 
• collect a group of cards where the numbers add up to the number printed on the card played. If there are two or more groups of cards where the numbers add up to the number printed on the card played, only one group can be collected.
• the player cannot collect one card with the same number and a group of cards where the numbers add up to the number printed on the card played.

EXAMPLE:

• Cards with numbers 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 8, 8 are laid on the table. 
• If the player has an ‘8’, he can collect one of the two '8’ cards (not both), or decide on one of the groups:

                                A) 2 + 3 + 3 = 8

                                B) 2 + 6 = 8

                                C) 3 + 5 = 8.

• The player cannot pick both a card with number 8 and one of the groups listed above. In this example, the best strategy is to collect based on option A.
• Four cards would be collected, 2, 3, 3 and 8 (four points).

END OF GAME

• Each card has a value of one point, regardless of the number printed on the card.

   Short game

•  Each player will count their own stack of cards collected.
•  The one who collected the most cards is the winner.

   Long game

• The number of cards collected is written down for each player.
• Continue playing until one of the players reaches 201 points.
