Is a simple game of addition and subtraction with a UNIQUE twist. . . the BUMPING ACTION. When someone is BUMPED they get setback. So throughout the game everyone is BUMPING one another in pursuit of acquiring the 10 chips necessary to WIN. This BUMPING ACTION stimulates lots of player interaction which leads to loads of FUN. Once BUMPED players are very tempted to want to regain the chips that were once theirs and maybe even more in order to WIN the game.
Unpredictable, YES! The rotation of the game can change on any turn, going left to right, right to left or even across the table. BUMP WARS evolve when players go back and forth with one another in an attempt to gain the most chips by using a combination of BUMP NUMBERS, ACTION CARDS and PAYOFF NUMBERS. Great FUN! And SNEAKY. . . sure! You never know what cards your neighbors hold, with the ACTION CARDS adding the elements of luck and surprise to the game.
With every turn, players will have up to 6 numbered cards to chose from to discard onto the COUNT PILE, thus mentally they will have up to 6 additions to do prior to playing their card.
We use both POSITIVE and NEGATIVE numbers cards, thus the kids will have to subtract negative numbers from the total of the COUNT PILE. This also allows the COUNT PILE to go up and down and makes the total less predictable with each turn.
Throughout the game, besides the laughter, all you will be hearing are the calculations being called out . . .“20 plus 20 equals 40, . . . 40 plus 3 equals 43, . . . 43 minus 5 equals 38”!
