2. Take turns placing cards face down one at a time in
the center of the table in counting order.

that player has to say the next number in order

first player starts with the number 1. The count starts
over after 10.
4. If you do not believe that a player is truthful, you
may challenge that player by saying "I Doubt It". In the
event of a challenge, flip over the last card placed
face down. If you are correct, then that player has to
take all of the cards. If you are wrong, then you have
to take all of the cards in the center of the table and
place them in your stack of cards.
Play continues until a player wins the game by
getting rid of all of his/her cards.

Multiplication Families
1. Deal out all cards evenly.
2. The first player begins by asking another player for a
card, in an attempt to make a set of four of a kind.
If the player addressed has the card asked for,
the player has to give it to the person asking for it.
As long as the first player gets the cards they
asked for, the player can continue asking for
more cards.
If the player fails to receive a card requested, the
turn passes to the person was asked for a card.
3. When a player has four cards of a kind (a family),
they put them down in front of them.
Play continues until someone has put down all of
their cards.
4. All the players total the number of points in sets of
four in front of them and subtract the number of points
on cards still in their hands.
The person who thus makes the most points is the
winner.

Choose
The object of the game is to get the greatest number
of points with dice of the same color or of the same
number. In each turn, a player can roll the dice three
times.
After the first roll, the player decides if they will choose
the same color OR the same number. The player sets
aside those they want to use and rolls the remaining
dice again.
The player can roll all six dice again if the outcome of
the first throw was not favorable.
After the second roll, the player sets aside the dice
they want to use and rolls the other dice.
The player may change objectives. If nothing
encouraging has come out of the first rolls, the player
may roll all six dice again.
After the third roll, the points obtained are written on a
scoring sheet and added to the previous total.
When all six dice show the same color or the same
number, this is called "Double Choose" and the
number of points is doubled.
