## Description
Al-Jabr! is a competitive and educational game for 2 to 5 players, where the goal is to solve mathematical equations in record time. Each round starts with the reveal of a target number, and players receive five number cards and a series of mathematical operators. From there, it's a race against the clock to create an equation that gets as close as possible to the target number. When someone shouts 'Al-Jabr!' and flips the hourglass, the other players have only the hourglass time to finalize their equations. The winner of the round is the one who gets closest to the target number, and the first to win three rounds wins the game. Besides being a great way to practice math, Al-Jabr! comes with a manual for teachers, making it easy to use in the classroom. It's guaranteed fun for those who enjoy quick, mental challenges!
