Smath: The Game that Makes Math Fun

Book cover: 'Smath: The Game that Makes Math Fun'

Smath is a very similar game to Equate. It comes with a game board, 4 plastic tile racks and plastic tiles with a bag for the tiles. Tiles: 6 each of numbers 0-12, 10 blanks, 36 equal signs, 9 each of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division signs, and 12 clear parentheses that stack over another tile when used. There are no fractions or decimal points. Game play is similar to Scrabble. Each player draws 10 tiles per turn, but equal signs and parentheses tiles are kept separate and can be used as needed. This prevents game play from stalling.
