In Games & Booklet section you will find card and booklets or if you are more of a "puzzling" type take a look at our Puzzle section. Alternatively if you would like to play online hit the top button and go to MaquatorOnline.
HOW IT WORKS
Letter based games​
Our LetterBoks card game supports the imagination and creativity when creating words. If you like finding hidden words our WordBuzzster booklet might be for you.
​​​​​​
​Number based games
The idea behind number based games is that a number row without operators can represent an equation.
​​​​
First what is an equation? In this context it is a calculation on one side of an equation and a result or calculation on the other side of the equation for example 3 = 2+1.
​​​​
If you take away the operator signs meaning + (plus), - (minus), * (multiply), / (divide) then 321 can represent 3 = 2+1 or 3-2 =1 and 123 can represent 1+2 = 3 or 1 = -2+3. When playing Maquator NumberBoks games or solving puzzles - you have to either identify which equation a number row represents or create an equation and its corresponding number row based on a given set of numbers.
​​​
Creating a number row with 3 digits which represent an equation is relatively straight forward. However adding another number increases the complexity as shown below:
​​​
-
422 translates into 4 = 2+2 or 4-2 = 2 or 4/2=2 or 4 = 2*2
-
3666 translates into 36 = 6*6 or 36/6 = 6

​
NumberBoks Game Guide Lines
The general guidelines for Maquator NumberBoks (also known Maquator 90 Cards) are:
​​
-
The operators plus, minus, multiply and divide are valid operators
-
A number row can be read and represent an equation from left to right or right to left and similarly from top to bottom or bottom to top
-
The result or calculation is greater or equal to 0
-
The numbers in the result and calculations are whole numbers
-
Numbers representing an equation are written either horizontally, vertically or diagonally only
-
"Filling" zeroes for example 1+ 0 +1 = 2 are generally omitted; similarly 1 times or 1 divided with a number are omitted.
​​​
For advanced guidelines where the general operators above can be used, but also brackets, decimals, power of, rounding etc. the above rules apply with these additions:
​​​
-
The result is a whole or decimal number greater than, less than or equal to 0. The numbers in the calculations are a whole number or fractional number either positive or negative.
