Abstract
A multiplication-division game containing chips (16) representing multiplication products and playing cards (14) representing multiplier-multiplicand combinations which equal the products of said chips. Each player has a placemat (10) for holding dealt and drawn cards. The chips are arranged in three piles (16) and the players take turns trying to capture the chips by combining pairs of cards whose products equal those of any one of the three top chips. The player who captures the most chips is declared winner; successful multiplier-multiplication cards being discarded. The players alternate play; with each turn a player draws a new card from a stack and matches pairs of cards against the chips until such player can no longer capture any more chips.

- (a) a plurality of product pieces, each bearing at least one occurrence of multiplication product number such that each product piece represents a different multiplication product, and such that said plurality of product pieces represent a set of multiplication products
- (b) a plurality of multiplier-multiplicand pieces, each bearing at least one occurrence of a whole multiplier-multiplicand number such that each multiplier-multiplicand piece represents only a single multiplier or multiplicand, said multiplier-multiplicand pieces comprising all possible multiplier-multiplicand number combinations of a given set of whole numbers which can be multiplied to equal the set of product numbers represented by said plurality of product pieces.
