Outnumbered: Improbable Heroes - Mensa Award Winning Superhero Math Board Game | Fun & Educational STEM Game for Kids, Adults, and Families | Learn Multiplication & Division

Great game. A little difficult to figure out at first but after watching a video we could do it. Great addition to family game nights.

Amazing game. I’ve been playing it with my 9 year old, and it’s been so much fun. And of course, challenging and makes you use your math skills. Great game!

Everyone loved the game. The directions were very easy to understand and play.

This game is great for my 9 year old. I love how it can be used with lower and higher skill levels. My kid hates math. He likes superheroes, games, challenges, and cooperative play. This has it all. After 1 day, he went from simple multiplication to squaring, cubing, and division. It improves mental math skills quickly. This should be obvious, but you must know the math concepts in order to introduce it into the gameplay. If you think the concepts are too difficult for your child, try introducing them anyway. You might be surprised. It can be adapted to a shorter game by using half the deck. I highly recommend it!

We use games for homeschooling frequently so we have tried A LOT of educational board games. I can tell already this is going to be a favorite! There is a video on genius game’s website that helped us to learn to play quickly. In a nutshell, your goal is to battle villains so that they don’t capture the Infinity Generator and take over the city. Villains each have a target number and to battle villains, you roll 3 dice each turn and try to manipulate the dice using addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and squaring to hit the target numbers. After some of the turns, you will move villains down the game board towards barriers and add more villains. If the villains get through the barriers, the team of heroes lose.For board game nerds, there are mechanisms in the game that are very reminiscent of other broadly popular games. Each player gets a hero card that gives them special powers (think Forbidden Island, Pandemic, Horrified, etc.). The villains move progressively toward the barriers and more villains get added (think Castle Panic). This is definitely very sophisticated for a kids learning game.This game requires kids to manipulate numbers in their heads to try and get the most villains defeated each turn. It also motivated my children to learn more math concepts, like squaring which they caught onto really quickly. There are also bonus cards that will say things like “eliminate an odd number villain” or “eliminate a villain whose target number is divisible by 5” so it allows for some natural teaching moments if you haven’t covered all the concepts. And since you’re a team, if they don’t know it, it’s okay! It’s an opportunity to teach and learn.I also love that there are rules to make the game easier for younger children, or more complex for those who like a more chaotic gaming experience. We played on “sidekick” mode first which has easier to achieve target numbers and my kids were begging to play the full “villain” mode which has harder targets and “event cards” that advance the villains more quickly. I can imagine playing it with a child as young as 4 or 5 all the way up to tweens and teens.Overall, it’s a really fun gaming experience. Please please please follow Genius Games leads and make more games that are cooperative and that are adaptable to a wide variety of ages!

I bought this game based on a recommendation from a parent, but my nephew and sister find the game instructions too complicated. He's 9, but they don't often play a lot of board games. I have not had a chance to play it with him myself.

As a homeschool mom, I know our youngest is game smart (meaning he learns best thru games). I am always seeking out new ones to keep him engaged and entertained, while learning. This game hit every check! It was quick to learn, well made; has wonderful graphics, the board is easy to see, the pieces and cards are good quality. Overall, it’s a great value! My son has asked to play at least a dozen times, and we like that every game is different. We even change it up and make our own rules to keep things fun. This is a keeper and highly recommend it to anyone looking for math games, that doesn’t necessarily feel like math.

The game gets 5 stars, the card quality 2 (cards got warped and scuffed during the first playthrough of the game). This is an excellent educational game for kids. I've been playing this with my 4 year old and my 7 year old as part of our homeschool math class. It is surprisingly fun. Both kids love it and want to play again. The 7 year old did all sorts of multiplication division and squaring. She even figured out which numbers were primes. The 4 year old practiced counting, subtraction and addition. This is the best game for practicing arithmetic that I've found (and so much more fun than practice worksheets). I also love that the mathematical difficulty is easy to scale depending on your kid (just use the lower numbered villains).
