Mads and Cowboys

A pocket-sized collection of 11 mental arithmetic games for 1 to 10 players, using 24 cards and a Western theme. Players combine, compare, arrange, and calculate numbered cards to reach targets, complete grids, capture cards, or outscore opponents. The games range from simple addition and subtraction to strategic calculation, speed, bluffing, memory, and more challenging multi-step operations, with progressive difficulty levels suitable for children and adults. Picture cards feature brief biographical information about figures from the history of the American West. Each game also includes a playful performance reward, such as miming, storytelling, singing, dancing, or leading a pretend train.
