Instead of letters, the tiles are numbers, and instead of forming words, each sequence of tiles has to add up to a multiple of five, and no sequences may be longer than five tiles.

How to play:
Players take turns placing intersecting sequences of numbers on the board which add up to multiples of five. For example, 7-3-8-7 would be a valid sequence because it adds up to 25. The sequence 3-9-5 is not valid because it adds up to 17 which is not a multiple of five.
On each turn, players may play tiles in one straight line sequence, horizontally or vertically. The first sequence must be played on the center square, and all sequences after that must intersect with tiles already in play.
The score for each play is the sum of all the number tiles in sequences completed on that turn. Colored bonus squares award extra points and multipliers.
At the end of each turn, players draw new tiles to replace the ones played. The game ends when a player plays all of their remaining tiles and there are no more tiles left to draw.

Rediscovered

Just starting this game again after several months and remember how addicting this game is. Distribution of tiles is random enough when playing the computer on the “hard” level.
Love love love this game

Not only is the gameplay fast, fun, and mentally stimulating, it comes from a company who values and delivers exemplary service to its customers.
Fantabulous ... But has a bug
R S Oberai
One of the best games I have played on my iPhone. But, recently it is automatically forfeited my games against a specific player (roydu13). I hate it when it gets forfeited automatically even though I am winning in most of them. Can the developer please fix this? It is a fantastic game and I do not want to hate it due to this.
Love/Hate Relationship

I've been playing this against AI for a couple of years now and loving it. So I decided to play online. Opponents fall behind and stop playing....and continue to do that because, when I click on an old game, the only option I have is "forfeit". Every other online game puts the onus on the slacker. This one rewards you for joining a game and leaving town. ? More online woes: I play several games at once. When I make a play on one game, there should be a button leading me to the next one " I'm up" in. Instead I have to return to the table of contents and then go to another game.
Challenging

This game is a lot of fun. It's a great numerical twist on the Scrabble model. Some people like words. Some people like math. This game is outstanding for people who like both. So far, I have only played against the computer, but it gives me a good challenge. I like it.
