I've had the idea of "collectible algorithm trading cards" kicking around for a while...
"Magic, the math edition!"...(somebody walking on grave) That reminds me of a game called 'Equations' (I think) that I used to play when I was in Jr. High and early High School. I've still got a copy but can't put my hands on it for specifics...if I find it I'll pass info along...but each player created 'equations' and played them off each other like Scrabble. The game was challenging because the 'symbols' had to be taken from a pile each player drew from, and equations had to be correct. It covered basic algebra but calculus or number theory and such wouldn't be that much more difficult to add. Though you'd need a larger symbol pile/pull that might need some massaging. ____________________________________________________________________ Before a larger group can see the virtue of an idea, a smaller group must first understand it.
