Outnumbered: Improbable Heroes - Mensa Award Winning Superhero Math Board Game | Fun & Educational STEM Game for Kids, Adults, and Families | Learn Multiplication & Division

This game is great for my 9 year old. I love how it can be used with lower and higher skill levels. My kid hates math. He likes superheroes, games, challenges, and cooperative play. This has it all. After 1 day, he went from simple multiplication to squaring, cubing, and division. It improves mental math skills quickly. This should be obvious, but you must know the math concepts in order to introduce it into the gameplay. If you think the concepts are too difficult for your child, try introducing them anyway. You might be surprised. It can be adapted to a shorter game by using half the deck. I highly recommend it!

As a homeschool mom, I know our youngest is game smart (meaning he learns best thru games). I am always seeking out new ones to keep him engaged and entertained, while learning. This game hit every check! It was quick to learn, well made; has wonderful graphics, the board is easy to see, the pieces and cards are good quality. Overall, it’s a great value! My son has asked to play at least a dozen times, and we like that every game is different. We even change it up and make our own rules to keep things fun. This is a keeper and highly recommend it to anyone looking for math games, that doesn’t necessarily feel like math.

We use games for homeschooling frequently so we have tried A LOT of educational board games. I can tell already this is going to be a favorite! There is a video on genius game’s website that helped us to learn to play quickly. In a nutshell, your goal is to battle villains so that they don’t capture the Infinity Generator and take over the city. Villains each have a target number and to battle villains, you roll 3 dice each turn and try to manipulate the dice using addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and squaring to hit the target numbers. After some of the turns, you will move villains down the game board towards barriers and add more villains. If the villains get through the barriers, the team of heroes lose.For board game nerds, there are mechanisms in the game that are very reminiscent of other broadly popular games. Each player gets a hero card that gives them special powers (think Forbidden Island, Pandemic, Horrified, etc.). The villains move progressively toward the barriers and more villains get added (think Castle Panic). This is definitely very sophisticated for a kids learning game.This game requires kids to manipulate numbers in their heads to try and get the most villains defeated each turn. It also motivated my children to learn more math concepts, like squaring which they caught onto really quickly. There are also bonus cards that will say things like “eliminate an odd number villain” or “eliminate a villain whose target number is divisible by 5” so it allows for some natural teaching moments if you haven’t covered all the concepts. And since you’re a team, if they don’t know it, it’s okay! It’s an opportunity to teach and learn.I also love that there are rules to make the game easier for younger children, or more complex for those who like a more chaotic gaming experience. We played on “sidekick” mode first which has easier to achieve target numbers and my kids were begging to play the full “villain” mode which has harder targets and “event cards” that advance the villains more quickly. I can imagine playing it with a child as young as 4 or 5 all the way up to tweens and teens.Overall, it’s a really fun gaming experience. Please please please follow Genius Games leads and make more games that are cooperative and that are adaptable to a wide variety of ages!

This is a great family game. My kids had a blast playing. It encourages deep thought and to use math skills in inventive ways.

I bought this game based on a recommendation from a parent, but my nephew and sister find the game instructions too complicated. He's 9, but they don't often play a lot of board games. I have not had a chance to play it with him myself.

So fun and right amount of challenging! We love that it's cooperative, creative, brain-teasing, and fun! My 9yo and I play it often. My 14 yo hasn't tried it yet, but I'm sure he'll like it once he does. Has a hard mode we're excited to try. So happy with this purchase

My 8 year old son loves this game and so do I! It has a fun storyline, incorporates cool characters, and is incredibly flexible. There is an advanced version if wanted (we haven't gotten there yet) and with so many ways to utilize the dice, it's perfect for kids of almost any school age! As long as they know addition and subtraction they CAN play. They will do better if they know multiplication and division, but if there's an adult nearby limited assistance makes all the difference. Super glad I bought this!

Outnumbered is a fun game for lots of ages. With the cooperative nature you can ask younger ones how they would add/subtract/multiple/divide the dice roll while also offering them suggestions for bigger plays. We started playing with my daughter at 5 and even play with the grandparents when they visit.
