How to Play EQUATE...

A player's hand consists of nine tiles, including a combination of operations and numbers. An equal symbol is available whenever needed.

Players form true equality statements, called equations, horizontally from left to right or vertically from up to down. After beginning at the center of the board, each successive play must connect with a previous play.

Players strive for a high score by taking advantage of the individual symbol scores as well as the premium board positions. The score for each symbol or character is located in the lower right-hand corner of the tile.

How Beginners Play EQUATE ...

Beginners use selected tiles, form only horizontal equations, and draw from two separate draw piles, one containing numbers, and the other operations. This ensures that players have a balanced hand.

CONTENT The Equate game contains a playing board, four racks, a rule booklet with sample plays and math review, and the Original Tile Set of 190 tiles including numbers (wholes and fractions), the four basic operations, and equal symbols.

Additional Tile Sets Sold Separately - There are three types of tile sets: Junior, Original, and Advanced. The Junior Tiles have more+ and - and the only fractions are halves. The Advanced Tiles include negatives and exponents. Each of these tile sets may be purchased without a board. Only the Original Tiles are included in this game.
