Line ’Em Up (2–4 Players)

Materials Needed:
• small counters in a different colour per player
• one eight-sided die and one twelve-sided die
BLM: Line ’Em Up (30.0K)

1. Print the game board on BLM: Line ’Em Up.

2. Distribute counters to each player.

3. The first player rolls the twelve-sided die to determine an x-coordinate and then the eight-sided die to determine a y-coordinate. The player places the counter on the appropriate point on the playing board.

4. Play moves to the next player who rolls the dice and places a counter on the game board. Play continues clockwise.

Note: More than one counter may occupy a point on the playing board. If this happens, stack the counters on the point.

5. Players continue rolling the dice until the end of the round. The round ends when a player has three counters that show a linear relationship, forming a straight line diagonally, horizontally, or vertically.

6. The first player to identify the linear relationship wins the round and receives 1 point. The counters are cleared off the board for the next round. Play continues for as many rounds as players wish.

7. The winner is the player with the highest number of points.
