Spot the Number
Same number, different disguise. Spot the match first.
About the Game
The same quantity appears in several different 'disguises' at once — a dice-dot pattern, a ten-frame of dots, a numeral, a tally of fingers — spread across your own board of tiles. A target number is called out and highlighted, and you tap the tile on your board that represents that same value before your opponent finds it on theirs. A match runs seven rounds, across 12 levels of increasing representation variety.
