- Player A chooses a number on the game board by clicking the mouse
on the number to "color it".
- Using a different color, Player B colors all the proper factors
of Player A's number. The proper factors of a number are all the
factors of that number, except the number itself. For example, the
proper factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6. Although 12 is a factor
of itself, it is not a proper factor.
- Player B colors a new number, and Player A colors all the factors
of the number that are not already colored.
- The players take turns choosing numbers and coloring factors.
- If a player choses a number that has no factors left that have
not been colored, that player loses a turn and does not get the
points for the number colored.
- The game ends when there are no numbers remaining with uncolored
factors.
- Each player adds the numbers that are colored with his or her
color. The player with the greater total is the winner.
