Instead of forming words, players create equations using numbers and basic operators. Each player places 1 to 8 tiles per turn, trying to form valid sums horizontally or vertically. The strategy lies in using numbers already on the table to maximize points, as each digit used in the equation is worth its numerical value in victory points. But beware: placing high numbers might make it easier for your opponents. The game is more of a puzzle than a math test, requiring more deductive logic than complex calculations. With mechanics like hand management and tile placement, Summy is perfect for those who enjoy mental challenges and light strategy games. ## FAQ ### How many players can participate?
