4-in-a-row (Canadian math)

This game is a fun way to practice/automate multiplication tables in pairs. It also allows for strategic play. It's a combination of Canadian math and Connect 4!

Contents:

- 4 types of the 4-tables-in-a-row card:

* The tables of 1 to 10

* The tables of 2, 3, 4, 5, and 10

* The tables of 6, 7, 8, and 9

* Bonus: the tables of 12, 15, and 25

- an instruction sheet

- 2x 15 red/yellow tokens

- 2 pawns

In short:

Player 1 chooses one number from the top row and one from the bottom row and places the pawns next to them. They calculate the multiplication problem and find the answer on the playing field. A token with their color facing up can be placed there.

Player 2 can move one of the pawns (strategically: which number is still needed to get 4-in-a-row?). They place a token with their color facing up on the answer.

Who is the first to get 4-in-a-row?
