Triple Digit Dare

Level: Yr1 +

Equipment: Deck of cards Ace-9 with the Ace being One.

How to play:

  1. Each player is dealt 3 cards and makes the highest 3-digit number they can make without telling anyone else what they can make.
  2. Choose who goes first. Each player only gets one turn. During their turn has a choice:-
    1. Keep the cards they have.
    2.  Swap a card in their hand for a card from the pile in the middle.
    3. Trade a card with another player without looking at what card they are choosing.
  3. When each player has had a turn, rearrange your cards if needed, then lay your cards down to show the greatest number you can make.  The person with the biggest 3-digit number wins and takes all the cards.
  4. Continue to play until all cards have been played.  The winner is the person with the most cards.

Variations: Make the lowest number; make 4-digit numbers
