how to play

One team is X and the other team O.
Team X puts a paper clip on one of the parts (1 – 12).
Team O also puts a paper clip on one of the parts (it can be the same part or a different one).
Team O adds these two numbers, finds the sum in the table, and puts an O on the number.
Team X moves ONE paper clip to a new part and adds the two numbers which now have paper clips on them together and put an X on the sum.
Team O moves ONE paper clip to a new part and adds them together and puts an O on the sum. And so on.
The first team to have three X’s or O’s next to each other in a row, column, or diagonal wins.
