Rebel princess looks cute.
I really wish I'd hung around the Rebirth table a bit at UKGE to see it in action - seen a lot of good stuff about it since then!

I like it.
He takes the niche and adds a little niche.

Ahh, this is such a shame! This game clicked with me and has continued to click when we've got it out!

That's ace, Jules! Really glad it's gone down well and I'll send on your thanks! 😊

We don't know that one. 😊
I didn't realise that there were others out there who liked some of the different versions better - the love for Azul is wide!
SP is fab - only things I note are it seems easier to avoid the nastier mechanics of losing points for having too many tiles.

100% - just a fab lite game. Easy to pick up and play, lovely to look at, and not too taxing in time.

Excellent! Enjoy the bigger game! This is great with 4, I think.

This is so cute! Bo wasn't quite as involved as this but he certainly enjoyed it 😅.

Abbs got it for me quite a while back now and I've always enjoyed it, but haven't played it in an age so it was a welcome suggestion from him!
Such a lovely lite option. I really do find it a cute option.
Good luck in getting another go!

I don't blame you, it was a terrible reference.

Sounds like this could send anyone One Step Closer to the Edge....
Oh dear, this is my worst post ever.

MacGruber and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang wouldn't have hit half as hard without him!
A real loss.

It's so wonderful, isn't it? Can lead to some funny games with the kids that just don't seem to get push your luck and just carry on pushing! Hahaha.

I don't lend enough out to need to track them, but I use this app to track my plays and I've noticed it has a 'lend game' feature as well!
I wonder if it's a good system as I defintiely like it for my play tracks!
Its free as well 😁.

but as soon as you start scoring a set, the set starts at -20 so it's a gamble if you'll end up with the cards to get the set back to plus numbers!
Again, this one might be too much as its - to + figures and you can multiply your score. But might be nice to go through carefully as still quick.

So not really based around maths, but you're doing some simple maths in your head as the numbers are only small. You also deduct candies if you've done a bad predict.
This might be too much, but lost cities (2-player) has maths to consider. You score sets of cards by adding them up

Hey Jules! 😊 Hope you're keeping well!
Ohhh, this is a good question!
Asked my neighbour - fellow teacher and game designer and he says city of zombies is great with maths?
There is a push your luck game called 16 Candies. You're trying to predict having the most candies before asking to score

Such a fun game! We've played a couple of scenarios recently and we had such a good laugh with them both - one because it was s9 funny how miserably we failed. 😅 😊

They're funny because they don't understand the mechanic of pushing luck and just carry on going 🤣🤣.

That's ace! It's a lovely physical game, so defintiely one you'd want to get if you end up enjoying the gameplay.

I think I was looking out for a bigger beard, so this now makes sense why I didn't manage to spot you 😂.
