Addition Games: Achi is a fun educational board game adapted to teach Addition Facts , Number Facts and Number Strategy to kids. This game originated in the West African country of Ghana. It is played by the Asante people. Their children often draw the board in the dirt with sticks and use pebbles as the game pieces.
How to Win:
Be the first player to get three of your game pieces in a row either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
What You Need:
4 counters of one colour
4 counters of another colour
1 game board
How to Play :
1. The player with the shortest hair goes first.
2. Player One places a counter on any of the nine algorithms and states the question and answer aloud.
3. Player Two then places one of their counters on one of the remaining algorithms then states the question and answer.
NB When each player places a counter they are doing so with the aim of getting three of their counters in a row either vertically, horizontally or diagonally. They are also placing their counters to prevent their opponent getting three of their counters in a row.
4. If all the counters are placed on the board and no one has achieved three in a row then players take turns sliding one of their pieces one along the line to the vacant space. (Pieces cannot be slid until all counters are in play)
5. Play continues in this fashion until one player gets three counters in a row and wins the game.
Tips and Tricks:
- Have students play best of 5 matches.
- Have a stalemate rule.
- Have a repeated position rule where if a player repeats the same move three times the game is a draw.
