Learning Resources Sum Swamp Game
Kids will have a terrific time learning math skills as they  avoid the hilarious pitfalls of the Sum Swamp. Designed for two to four  players, this game is sure to develop and sharpen beginning math  skills, because the only way to escape the mire is to roll the dice and  add and subtract your way around the board. If you're lucky, you'll be  able to take the Crocodile Short Cut, although sooner or later everyone  gets caught in the Endless Loop. Landing on special squares, such as  Even or Odds or a number space, makes things even more interesting; you  could get stuck for quite a while. The best part is that this is a game  kids can grow with--children 5 to 6 will find it a learning challenge,  and older kids can play for fun. The game is an Oppenheim Best Toy  award winner.--Marianne Painter
