Game description
aMount Mountain Climbing Game is designed to meet the challenges of mastering, learning, and teaching multiplication tables in elementary school. The game board measures approximately 100 x 50 x 1 cm and features a Nepalese mountainside as its background image. The game has 200 round holes with multiplication table results from 4 to 9 above them.
This is a reverse multiplication game in which players roll a special die and move along the mountain slope based on the multiplication table results. The game focuses on more challenging multiplication tables and also offers geometric challenges. Players can also teach each other and solve math problems together. The first ”climbing team” to reach the top wins the game.
