Preparation: Photocopy the game board, copy and cut apart the game cards, shuffle and place face down on the table. Note: Use just the addition cards, just the subtraction cards, or some of each.

To Play:

1. Each player puts his game piece on one of the START spaces.

2. The first player draws a game card. He copies the problem onto his paper and finds the answer. The guide checks the answer with the answer key. If the answer is correct, the player moves ahead one space.

3. The second player follows in the same manner.

4. Play continues until one player reaches the buried treasure. He writes his first name on the treasure chest.

5. For the next round, the winner becomes the tour guide.

6. Play a third round so that each player has been the tour guide one time. Or, play as many rounds as time allows.

7. The winner is the player who has reached the treasure chest the most times.
