how do you keep score (are there chips or something?) is it for one player or more?

I did not get what I ordered I got 36 small dice. I haven't tried to reorder yet.

There is a blue nylon "game board" and each player moves a chip to keep score. Half the board for younger kids (to the top) and then on around for older ones. Very easy, but we don't like the lightweight chips that came with it and use a colored die since I have lots. More than one player, probably not more than 4 to keep interest alive! My second grade students with special needs consider it a good reward for getting their work done. I pulled in dice with the signs on them and they work hard to use all the dice if they can since score is based on the number of dice you use to "get to" the target number. If kids find it too easy, switch up to Math Dice regular where they do all 4 operations.

The game is designed for more than one player. The player to complete the board first wins. It does not come with place markers. You will need to come up with something on your own as a place marker. We use coins. Honestly, this game is rather boring and over within a few minutes.

The game has 5 chips for advancing on a small board based. Each person gets a chip. It would be crowded on the board when you first begin if all 5 people are playing but would work out as you advance on the board. Each person moves as many spaces as the number of dice used to come up with total. This encourages more complicated equations as your child's math skills improve. The winner is the first one to the end of the board. My 6 year old loves this game.

There is not a card that brings you out from start. You chose a player to go first and then go clockwise. Some families do a coin toss to see who goes first. We just start and move forward.

Can totally be played as a stand alone. We just use the board from the original to keep score

One person should be able to play might be a little tricky with the strategy but not impossible

The only writing involves adding up everyone's score at the end. The game comes with score pads, and the only tricky part about scoring is for the science cards. The rule book explains scoring very well. Let the one with math skills keep score! Over 50 points is a good score to make.

very similar to solitaire..you meld the runs in your hand.. and move cards from one stack to another..to get rid of all your cards before anyone else does..cards left in your hand count as points against you.

We play this game with 3 players, as well as 2 players. There isn't any difference - just use the 3 player rules and instructions.

You can play up to 8 I'm pretty sure, however, playing more than two people is difficult and annoying because one player for each team is usually optimal.

The game description indicates 3-8 players. I'd want at least a minimum of 4, preferably 5, playing to keep it interesting. The only real reason you can't go over 8 people is because that's how many game pieces/dry erase boards you are provided.

It's a Three player minimum game. This is because of the three tracks of influence, which can have a very real impact on the game, and is where most of the fun comes from. If you modify the game to your own liking, and play it in a simple, "dominate the board" type of way, I can see it possible to play with only two, but a lot of the fun will be missed by doing so. There are a few you tube videos that go through gameplay, which will help you understand how the three player mode plays out.

We played with ten (five on each team) and it worked great. It might be a little chaotic with 8 people teams, but I see no reason why it would not work. It might work easier if you do not use the board and just used the cards with that many. Or, you could rotate out a few players each round. Definitely doable in my opinion.

While there is an option to play Vegas style, unlike other hand held games I've own, you cannot accumulate your points from game to game. If you win a game, you start over again at 0. If you lose same thing.

You can play with 4, for sure. When I played with 3 people, each person threw down 2 response cards to keep it interesting and funny.

I definitely played with one other person. However, I am not sure if you could play with up to 4 people offline. I am not sure how the game would handle 4 people playing in the same area going in 4 different directions.

You can play the game solo, so minimum player is one. The game itself comes with enough to play four maximum...but I know there is a promo out there that can add a fifth player.

yes. i guess you could come up with your own chips for the 4th person, but it is fun to play in teams

Playing with six people is not something I would recommend. It seems that the more players you have, the lower your chances of winning.
