FACTOR GAME

Play against another person or the computer. Choose between boards with 30, 49, or 100 tiles. Find the factors and multiples that two or more numbers have in common. Take turns picking numbers from the grid that have factors. The number that you choose is added to your score and its factors to your opponent's.

Winning strategies involve distinguishing between numbers with many factors and numbers with few factors. The game is over when there are no more legal moves and the winner is the one with the highest score.
