    Thanks for sharing how this went at as few as 3 players, and with young players. I like the increasing familiarity of the words combined with the decreasing means of communication. This is going on my wish list.

    This would be so great in a third grade classroom! We practice multiplication all the time and these factors are so reasonable (1-5). Not to mention it also builds number sense. Love, love, love it!

    For the number of possible decks, 12 choose 3 is equal to 220. I think you probably did 12 * 11 * 10. But the order that you choose them in doesn’t matter, does it?

    • @FamilyGamersAA
      @FamilyGamersAA Месяц назад

      Hey there! If you’re ordering your Protocols according to the order you draft them, it does in fact matter. This is because you create three lanes of Protocols against each other, and how they line up could affect gameplay. If you reorder at will after drafting, then you’re correct :). It depends how you play!

      @FamilyGamersAA 3 месяца назад

      We created this review with the first printing, which had supplies for 12 players in the box. The current printing only has supplies for 6 players, but there's no reason you can't grab some pencils & paper to add more players. The publisher has even provided a printable sheet (use 1 per player) that allows you to track answers, points, and what team you're on. drive.google.com/file/d/1_91SRuHB6PdjdG8sKgC-IbYvE5ZE9Gtq/view?usp=share_link
