We "invented" a similar game, but it used money. Roll the die,get the number of coins (1 = penny, 5 = nickel). Trade up as you are able (nickels, dimes, quarters) Whoever gets 4 quarters first gets to get the dollar and keep it! My Grands love this game! :-)

I used to play "24" when I was a kid. Similar concept, but you make 24 and you can add, substract, multiply or divide. Lay down 4 (or 5 I can't remember) cards. Everyone races on who can make 24 first. It's a fast pace game.

In reply to Raising a Happy Child. Wxcept the trade-in is based on groups of 5. 10s and 100s are not based on groups of 5 1s or 5 5s, so you'd have to change the dynamic of the game's number system to groups of 10. So I guess it is a little weird that the game is called 5s and 10s instead of just "5s"!!

Nice game even though it would make somewhat more sense to me to use different colors for 1s, 10s and 100s. I hope all is well with you. I've been MIA for a while due to travel and crazy workload.
