Players take turns adding cards to a shared pile, keeping a running total out loud, and whenever the total hits a multiple of ten the player who got it there snatches the Zeus figurine off the table. Reach 100 and whoever is holding him takes the round.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe gods are what turn it from a drill into a game. Each has an ability — Apollo, Hermes, Poseidon and the rest all bend the total in their own direction, so a child who has been quietly counting can be undone by somebody who just plays Hades at the right moment. It is unashamedly an addition-and-subtraction exercise and children play it voluntarily, which is the entire trick. Spell out ZEUS across four rounds to win.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Parents doing maths practice by stealth, and Year 3 teachers who have run out of ideas by August.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2–5 players | 15 minutes | Age 8+\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Happy Camper","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49684103889048,"sku":null,"price":34.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0772\/8381\/9672\/files\/277523_1.jpg?v=1787116815","url":"https:\/\/www.cartellgames.com.au\/products\/zeus-on-the-loose","provider":"Cartell Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
