Power Roll (Any Number of Players)

Materials Needed:
• scissors
• two six-sided dice
BLM: Power Roll Cards (26.0K)

1. Print and cut out the cards on BLM: Power Roll Cards. Shuffle the cards.

2. Before playing the game, players decide whether to play for a certain length of time or for a certain number of rounds.

3. Each player rolls one die to decide who will play first. The player with the highest roll goes first. If there is a tie, roll again.

4. The first player draws a card from the pile and rolls the dice. The objective is to use one rolled number as the base and the other rolled number as the exponent to form a power that is equal to the number on the card. Each player gets 10 rolls to achieve this. Use the table to determine the scores.

Example: Sara’s card is 32. She rolls a 2 and a 5 on the fifth roll to form 25. Her score is 6 points.

5. Once a player forms an equivalent power or uses up all 10 rolls, play passes to the next player.

6. Play continues for as long as players wish. The winner is the player with the highest score.
