EQU8 is the equation board game that makes math feel like a strategy game. Place digit and operator tiles on a 15×15 board to build valid math equations — and outscore your opponent before the bag runs out. Think Scrabble, but with numbers. HOW IT WORKS Select tiles from your rack and place them on the board to form a valid equation. Score points based on the tiles you play. Land on a Double Digit or Triple Equation square to multiply your score. Connect to existing tiles to build perpendicular equations and score even more. 4 DIFFICULTY MODES Beginner (ages 6+) uses addition only. Early Math (ages 7+) adds subtraction. Intermediate (ages 9+) brings in multiplication. Full Game (ages 11+) includes all four operations. Start simple and level up as your players grow. PLAY YOUR WAY Pass and Play lets two players share one device. Online play lets you challenge anyone and take turns whenever you want. Friend Challenges let you invite a specific player. Matchmaking pairs you with someone at your skill level using a full Elo ranking system. CPU Mode — challenge the computer in Easy, Medium, or Hard. Each difficulty has its own Elo rating that improves as you get better. Free players get Levels 1 and 2. Pro unlocks all four modes against the CPU. RANKING SYSTEM Every online game is ranked. Earn a separate Elo rating for each of the four modes and climb the ranks in the ones you play most. FREE AND PRO Free players get full access to Beginner and Early Math modes — locally, online, and against the CPU — with up to 3 active online games at once. Upgrade to Pro with a one-time purchase to unlock all four modes, unlimited games, and CPU play across every difficulty. No Ads!
