Total Knockout
Race to 100 in this knockout math adventure!

How to play
Each player starts at zero and takes turns playing number cards to build toward 100. Add and subtract your way up the board — but if your total goes over 100, you're knocked out. The last player standing wins the round. Power cards introduce surprise and strategy that keep every game fresh.
- Easy to learn in one round — rules explained in minutes
- Plays 2–6 players (great for centers and family game night)
- Rounds last 15–30 minutes depending on player count
