Our sparky number game is a captivating tile-laying card game where players aim to create sequences of numbers, or “runs,” using a set of 49 colourful tiles. The game involves drawing tiles from a “kitty,” with each player strategically placing tiles to form sequences of at least three numbers in any direction, while adhering to a rule that prevents two tiles of the same colour from being adjacent. Points are scored for each turn, and the game continues until the “kitty” is empty or players can no longer make moves. At the game’s end, any unplayed tiles in a player’s hand are subtracted from their score, and the player with the highest score emerges as the winner. It is a delightful blend of strategy, sequencing, and colour coordination that offers hours of enjoyable gameplay.
How to play:
- Turn over all 49 tiles and shuffle them around on the table to form a “kitty”. Each player then takes 5 from the “kitty”.
- One tile from the “kitty” is then turned over. The first player to go then puts alongside that number as many tiles as they can from their hand to try and make a run (sequence of numbers) i.e. 1-2-3 or 3-4-5. The sequence may go in any of the four directions (see illustration on the box). But it must be a sequence of at least 3 tiles.
- No two numbers of the same colour may be next to each other.
- After the first player has taken their turn, the total of the numbers played is added up and put under that player’s initial.
- The next player to their left may lay down one tile or more to make a run. In this instance, the total of the two tiles next to each other is added together and put under that player’s initial.
- The game finishes when there are no more tiles in the “kitty” or players are unable to make any further moves.
- If any players have tiles left at this stage of the game, the total of the numbers left in their hand is deducted from their score and the winner is the player with the most points at that time. Tile combination: 1 of each of the seven colours x 7 = 49 tiles.
