Learning mental math in a playful way
The game offers a fun and engaging way for children to practice mental calculation. The goal is to use math operations to get rid of as many cards as possible. For example, to match the number 3, you can play a combination of two cards: 1+2, three cards: (10-4)/2, or even four or more cards.
Nambarz also helps develop strategic behavior in children, as the goal of discarding cards encourages them to apply automated calculation strategies.

All operations allowed: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division
Nambarz allows all four mathematical operations to be used simultaneously. The game is recommended for ages 8 and up, or as soon as the child has mastered the four operations. For younger players, the game can be simplified by only allowing addition and subtraction, and gradually introducing multiplication and division later.
In a single calculation, multiple operations can be used. For example, to match the number 3, you might play: 1+2, (10-4)/2, or (6*5)/10. However, beware of penalties — specific rules must be followed.

A strategy game based on automated calculation
Strategy is very useful—if not essential—for discarding your cards in the fewest moves. You’ll need to find the best card order, choose between playing by matching or by calculation, avoid penalties, and use your jokers wisely.
In addition to accurate calculations, players must anticipate future moves: think about the last card played and the advantage it might give in the next turn. Sometimes, using a simple combination of two cards with a good strategy is more effective than a complex calculation.

Simple game mechanics that are quick to set up
Each player is dealt 7 cards. The remaining cards form the draw pile. The top card is flipped over to start the round. Each player, in turn, can play a calculation, a matching card, or a joker. If no suitable move is available, the player draws a card. If the drawn card can be played, it may be placed immediately or used in a combination. If not, it is kept in hand.
At the end of each round, players are awarded points based on their final position. Bonus points are added for “master moves.” The player with the most points wins the game.

An evolving game adapted for primary school levels
The game was designed to adapt to different age groups and skill levels. It’s possible to restrict the operations used in the game at first—focusing only on addition and subtraction—then expand to include multiplication and division. Nambarz is particularly suited for elementary school levels (1st to 5th grade), offering teachers a fun and effective tool to teach math.
The number of jokers in play can be adjusted to vary the difficulty. The team play option encourages children to collaborate and develop group strategies. This progressive approach to strategy especially helps struggling students, who can win using simple calculations combined with smart planning.

Challenge and collaboration: solo or team play
Nambarz can be played individually or in teams, allowing players to work on collaboration and coordination through shared strategy. Multiple teams can be formed, and the total team score is the sum of points earned by each player.
In team mode, each player has their own 7 cards and plays in turn. The only requirement is that all members of one team play consecutively before the turn passes to the next team. This lets teammates set each other up with the most advantageous cards or combinations.
