Numbo - The Times Tables Card Game
Let's start with a video...
I know it says "available now" at the end of the video. Unfortunately that is not the case. If you want to be notified when Numbo does become available - sign up for the free print n play - that will add you to the mailing list and I'll keep you in the loop.
Overview
Numbo is a card game for 6-12 year olds. Its purpose is to help improve times tables skills.
The first deck of Numbo cards was produced as a limited release - denoted simply as Numbo Season One. The deck consisted of 48 character cards, each with a unique character name, illustration and set of statistics. There were 2 blank cards in each deck so that the creatives amongst the tribe of buyers could draw and colour their own. The reverse of the cards each had a number grid. The cards were supplied in a protective, gloss laminated tuck box. It looked cool.
History
Numbo began as Cosmic Crowd back in 2007. It went through a few names and styles before evolving into the game it is today.
Future
There are a number of decks planned for future release at a currently unknown time. The intent would be that new decks can be mixed with the existing deck to create a much bigger cast of characters all 'living' in the same universe. Although this might not be the case forever.
