Materials:<\/h3>\n\n- Deck of playing cards<\/li>\n
- paper<\/li>\n
- pencil<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
How to Play:<\/h3>\n
Shuffle the deck and place the deck face down.
\nEach player draws three cards from the deck without looking at them.
\nOn the count of three, each player tosses their cards into the air.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Points are earned for every card that lands face up.
\nAn Ace is worth 11, a Jack is worth 12, a Queen is worth 13 and a King is worth 14.
\nEach player adds only their own cards that land face up.
\nPlayers record their score on a piece of paper and keep a running total.<\/p>\n
The first player to reach a designated amount of points wins (50 or 100).<\/p>\n
Possible Adaptation:<\/h4>\n
Remove the face cards and Aces.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
How to play:<\/h3>\n
Players take turns adding a band to the board by clicking on the pegs they want the band to go around.<\/p>\n
Bands must fit around three pegs to make a triangle.<\/p>\n
A band can share a peg with other bands and your triangle can share the side of another triangle but the triangles can\u2019t overlap.<\/p>\n
A player loses when they cannot make a triangle on their turn.<\/p>\n
What triangle could you make first?
\nWhat could you do next?
\nCould you have done something different to start with?
\nIs it better to go first or second? Why?<\/p>\n
Possible Adaptations:<\/h4>\n
You could start with 4 pegs to introduce the game with fewer possibilities.
\nYou could increase the number of pegs to provide more possibilities.
\nYou could allow for other shapes like quadrilaterals.<\/p>\n
