The first player to discover a math fact that adds up to the target die, yells "Math Dice" and collects the dice involved. The round continues until all possible combinations are found. Each player gets to move one space for each die they collect.

If you're not playing with others who are on the same mathematical level (like parents and kids), there's also a cooperative version you can play.
