What comes in the game box?
A few Number cards call
for an action to be done:
A deck of 72 Numbers
To Factor cards.
Players take turns
playing the Prime cards
needed to complete
each Number card.
Here’s a few samples:
A deck of 108 Prime
Numbers cards.
Only the first 8 Primes
are used. Different
amounts of each Prime
are mixed together with
a few Wild cards.
To start the game, ten Prime
cards Factoring
will be dealt
to each
Player.
Help
notes.
Each Player gets a copy that lists
the factors of each Number card.
A Playing Field.
It acts as a game
board to organize
Number and Prime
cards while the game
is being played.
A Score Sheet which lists the Players and
their Round by Round cumulative scores.

Setup:
Put the Playing Field on the table center.
Shuffle the Numbers to Factor Deck,
then put it on the Playing Field.
Shuffle the Primes Deck, then put
it on the Playing Field.
From 2 to 8 (or more) Players can play.
See who deals : Give each Player a Prime card.
The Player with the highest Prime card
will be the Dealer of the first Round.
A Turner and a Stacker are also needed.

Andy
Stacker
Turner
The Turner Is the Player
on the dealer’s left.
When a new Number card
is needed, the Turner turns
over the top card from the
Numbers to be Factored
Deck and puts it on top of
the Next Number Pile.
Eddy
I’m the Dealer!
Dealer
The Stacker is the Player
on the dealer’s right.
When a Next Number is
completely factored, the
Stacker moves those Prime
cards to the Used Primes Pile.
Reshuffle and deal 10 Prime cards to each Player.
Coco
(deal 3 or 4 at a time, players arrange them in order)
Andy turns over the top Numbers to be Factored
card, and makes it the Next Number: It’s 30.
Players take turns clockwise from the Dealer.

Andy has all the factors for 30; he plays 2, 3, and 5.
Coco
30 is done: Dina stacks its factors on the Used Primes Pile.
Barb
Then Andy turns over his Bonus Number card, 51.
Andy plays his 3, but he doesn’t have a 17,
so his turn is over. Now it’s Barb’s turn.

Barb plays the 17 needed to complete 51.
Dina moves the factors to the Used Primes Pile,
and Barb gets a Bonus Number card, 32.

Barb
Coco’s 1st card is a Pass 1 Card, so he passes
Barb his 11 card. He still gets a bonus Number.
Andy turns over Coco’s bonus Number and it’s 66,
so Coco plays a 2, 3 and a wild (for 11).
Dina stacks the factors and now it’s her turn.
Coco

Barb
Dina’s new Number is 91, so she plays 7 and 13.
The primes are stacked, and a bonus Number is turned.
Too bad: Her bonus card is a Draw 1 Card,
so Dina draws a new Prime for her hand, a 7.
Now it’s Eddy’s turn.
Coco
Oh,

Andy
Stacker
Turner
Eddy
Dina
Barb
Eddy’s new Number card is 72, so he plays
three 2‘s and two 3’s to complete 72.
The primes are stacked, and a bonus card is turned.
His bonus Number is a 49, so he plays two 7’s.
Now it’s Andy’s turn .
Coco
Dina
Andy
Stacker
Turner
Cooool.

#1 ?
Eddy
I have to draw.
Barb
Andy’s Number card is 80, so he plays
two 2‘s and a 5 – so Barb get’s a chance to finish it.
Barb has no plays (two more 2’s needed) so she
draws a Prime – it’s a 2 … So she plays it.
Because 80 is still incomplete, it’s Coco’s turn.
Coco
Dina
Only have 3 plays
Andy
Stacker
Turner
Eddy
Barb
Coco plays the last 2 to complete 80,
so he gets a bonus Number card.
His bonus card is a 9, so he plays two 3’s to finish it.
Dina’s next Number is 77, but all she can play is a 7.
It’s Eddy’s turn, can he “go out” to end Round 1 ?
Coco

Eddy
Dina
Barb
Eddy plays his 11 to complete 77,
so he gets a bonus Number card.
His bonus card is a 75, so he can “go out” by playing
his 5 and his wild (for a 3).
Congratulations Eddy! Now score each player.

Each player now adds the Primes left in their hands:
Eddy’s score is 0 since he went out.
Andy’s score is 39 (7+13+19).
Barb’s score is 27 (3+3+3+7+11).
Coco’s score is 27 (2+3+3+19 – wilds count 19).
