Placethezzyfractiontilesinapileinthecenter•
ofthetable.
Object of the Game
Gettheclosestto1ineachroundwithoutgoingover1.Earnthemostpointsin
4roundstowinthegame.
How to Play Fraction Formula™
Playerstaketurns:1.
takingacardfromthetopofthedeckandlooking•
atthefractionshown(seeFigure2)
thentakingthatzzyfractiontilefromthecenter•

Oneachturn,aplayermaychoosewhetherornottotakeacard.Ifaplayertakesa2.
card,thatplayermustputtherepresentedzzyfractiontileinhis/hercylinder.Ifa
playerchoosesnottotakeacard,heorshesays“hold”andplaymovestothenext
player.Onceallplayershavesaid“hold,”theroundisover.Ifanyplayer’stilesgo
overthe1onthecylinder,thatplayerisdoneforthatround.
Whentheroundisover,playerscomparetheircylinderstoseewhoisclosestto1.

Eachplayerearnsscoringcard(s)accordingtohisorherscore:
Player Position Points Earned
1stplace(playerwhoisclosestto1) 20
2ndplace 15
3rdplace 10
4thplace 5
Anyplayerwhowentover1 0
Playerhaszzyfractiontilesexactlyequalto1 extra5points
Ifthereisatie,twoplayersearnthatscoreandnoplayerearnsthenextscore

Iftheothertwoplayersdidnotgoover1,thenthenexthighestplayerearns10
pointsandthelastplayerearns5points.
Playersputtheirzzyfractiontilesbackinthecenterpileandreturntheir
