Suggested Games
MATCH MANIA
1. Cards are divided evenly amongst players.
2. On the count of 3, every player flips over a card facing up.
3. The goal is to match any cards that you’ve flipped with any of the cards your opponent has
flipped. *You cannot match 2 of your own cards together*
4. The first player that sees a match says “Match!” & states the match and collects those 2 cards.
If no match is found, those cards then remain on the table and in play.
5. Repeat steps 2-4 until players run out of cards.
6. The player with the most matches wins!
CLOSE CALL (Advanced)
1. Shuffle the deck and deal each player 6 cards.
2. Players then select 4 of the cards to create two 2-digit numbers. The object is to create two
numbers that when added together come as close to 100 as possible, without going over.
For example, lets say in this hand I select the cards 2,3,4, and 5. With those, I was able to create the numbers 53 and 42, which when added together total 95.
3. The player with the total closest to 100 wins the round and 1 point. In the event of a tie, each player receives a point. After playing 5 rounds, the player with the most points wins.

I bought Tang Cards to use with my small group of students, and it's a huge success. The game encourages teamwork and friendly competition, which is great for keeping younger kids engaged. My students love racing to find a match, and it’s been a hit every time we play.
Great for K-2 kids!
My 6-year-old enjoys using the cards with TenFrames and words, and they’re able to connect them to the math they’re learning at school. It’s a great way to spend time together while also making sure they’re getting extra math practice.
My kindergartener and 1st grader both love playing Tang Cards. The game 'Match Mania' is a fun, fast-paced way for them to practice recognizing numbers in different formats.
It’s a great way for them to practice addition and number recognition while having fun. We also play the more advanced game, 'Close Call,' with our older child, which keeps it challenging for them too.
