Addi Cat's and Multipli Cat's were created with 2 goals that seem contradictory : to have fun and to improve your knowledge of addition and multiplication tables. Addi Cat's is above all a game, so children don't have a negative approach of it at first sight. The look of the cards gives an attractive touch to the game with cats and mice. Children want to discover the game and start playing it. When focused on a game, children can develop surprising concentration and speed. Video games are a good example of that. Addi Cat's requires concentration, memory and speed. As soon as the game starts, children quickly focus on winning.

But to win, you need to know your tables well. That means that all through the game, the children will be counting in their heads. A mistake, like wrongfully hitting on the mouse, makes you collect all the other players' cards that are on the table plus your own. If he understands his mistake he won't do it twice.

A child can play Addi Cat's as soon as he knows half of his tables, which means around 6 or 7 years old. All you need to do is take out the additions he doesn't know yet. If the child plays on a regular basis with school mates, friends, brothers and sisters, parents or grand parents, he will quickly learn his tables and remember them for a long time. They will become reflexes that will last for years.

This will also get parents to check how well they know their tables. Addi Cat's doesn't seem to require a high level, the highest number being 20. However, addition tables aren't often learned by heart as is the case for multiplication tables. The game being very fast, the players need a minimum level of mental calculation and memory (to remember the different results of their opponents). But by playing on a regular basis, mental calculation reflexes will be faster and faster, and the pleasure of playing even more important.

This game is therefore destined to a large public : children, teenagers, college students, parents and grand parents. To start, it is better to play games of 3 or 4 players. Once you get better at it, you can push up the number of players to 6 or even 8 if you are looking for the game to become really wild. All you need is a round table that can fit everybody!
