OVER THE HILL

Players

  • 2  players (versus)
  • 2 – 4 players (cooperative)

Materials

Objective

  • To be the first player over the hill and reach 18.

How to Play

  • Players take turn rolling all three dice and use addition or subtraction to move over the hill by crossing out the numbers from 1 to 18 in order.
  • Players try and cross out as many consecutive numbers in order each turn.
  • Players continue their next turn at the spot they ended at on their previous turn.

Playing Example:

Example 1:

  • Player one rolls a 2, 4 and 1.
  • Player one can cross off 1 (2-1=1), 2 (4-2=2), 3 (2+1=3) from their gameboard.
  • Player one cannot add or subtract to make 4, therefore their turn is over and will start next turn trying to cross of 4 on their way to 18.

Variations:

Making the Trek

  • Players can use all four operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication & division) to make their way over the hill.

Over the Mountain

  • Players make their way over the mountain to reach the final number of 30.
  • Players can use all four operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication & division) to make their way over the mountain.
