Learning Resources LER 6970 is an electronic game designed for 1 or 2 players. It features two LCD screens, one for each player, and a set of numbered buttons that players use to enter combinations of numbers. The game includes several different modes, including Main Event, Head to Head, and Top Scores.

In Main Event mode, players compete to get the lowest score by adding or subtracting the numbers on the dice. Players take turns rolling the dice and entering combinations of numbers that add up to the total. The game keeps track of the sum of the unused numbers at the end of each round, and the player with the lowest total score at the end of three rounds wins.

Addition

How to Play Number Knockout

A game consists of three rounds of play. In

each round, roll the dice and add. Match the

total of the dice using any combination of

number buttons. Keep rolling, adding, and

matching until you can no longer make any

combinations. Try to get a Knockout by using

all your numbers! The game begins with all

number buttons lit.

Player 1 begins.

1. On your turn, press and add up the

two dice.

2 . Press a number button or any combination

of number buttons that add up to the

dice value rolled. These numbers are now

“knocked out” and cannot be used for the

remainder of the round.

Example:

Possible number combinations to “knock

out” (press) for 6:

6 2 & 4

1 & 5 1 & 2 & 3

• Press a number button once to select the

number & turn its light OFF.

• Press a number button a second time

(before pressing ENTER) to deselect it and

turn its light back ON.

3. Press ENTER (marked Player 1 or Player 2) to

check the selected number(s).

• If the numbers match the dice value, you

will hear a positive tone.

• If the numbers do not match the dice value,

you will hear a negative tone and see the

incorrect number button(s) flash several

times and turn back ON. You will then hear

a 5-second countdown to submit a new

entry. If you run out of time or the numbers

you select still do not match the dice value,

this round is over for you.

4. If you are playing alone, press and try

to match the new dice value with the

remaining lit number buttons. If you are

playing a 2-player game, it is now the next

player’s turn.

5. Take turns rolling and entering matches

until the ROUND ends in one of the

following ways:

• The remaining numbers cannot be used to

• match the dice value

• All remaining numbers are successfully

• KNOCKED OUT

• A reentry is incorrect or the 5-second

• countdown time expires

If you are eliminated from the current

round in a 2-player game, you must wait

until your opponent completes the round.

You may play again in the next round.

6. All number buttons reset to ON after the

end of a round.

Scoring

The game tracks the sum of the unused (lit)

numbers at the end of each round. Your total

score equals the sum from each of the 3 rounds

of play.

Knockout

Use all of the numbers in a round and it’s a

“Knockout!” Hear the special announcement

and receive 0 points (the best possible score)

for that round!

Player Rank

In a Main Event game, your score is ranked

as follows:

Addition

51 or more points = Amateur

26–50 points = Contender

25 or less points = Champion

Subtraction

76 or more points = Amateur

36–75 points = Contender

35 or less points = Champion

4 + 2 = 6

(Roll) (Add Together)

Top Scores

The top scores for both Main Event

Addition

and

Subtraction are saved by the computer.

When you get a top score, enter your initials

using the arrows to scroll and the SELECT

button. You may enter up to three characters.

Top scores are saved until the batteries are

removed from the game or the reset button

is pressed.

The Main Event -Subtraction

Follow the same basic rules for The Main Event

Addition except in Subtraction mode:

First, add the dice. Then, subtract the dice

value from 12 to find the number to match.

Example:

Possible number combinations to “knock

out”(press) for 8:

8 3 & 5

1 & 7 1 & 3 & 4

2 & 6 1 & 2 & 5

Head to Head

Addition

Speed is the key to this game! Instead of taking

turns, both players compete at the same time

using the same roll of the dice.

1. Either player may press to begin.

2. When the dice stop rolling, race to add the

dice and enter a matching number

combination.

• If both players try to enter the same

number combination, only the first entry is

valid. If your entry is denied, try to enter a

completely different number combination

in order to make a match before the

5-second countdown expires. If a different

entry is unavailable, you are eliminated and

the round is over.

Example:

• If Player 1 enters 4 & 2 first on this example

roll, then Player 2 must enter one of the

other possible number combinations

(6 or 1 & 5 or 1 & 2 & 3) to continue play.

3. Play continues with new rolls of the dice

until a rounds ends when:

• One of the players fails to match the dice

• or has no combinations available

• Both of the players fail to match the dice

• or have no combinations available (tie)

• One of the players scores a KNOCKOUT

• by using all numbers in a round (the

• computer will only accept the first player

• to use all numbers)

Scoring

The player not eliminated from a round is

awarded 1 point.

If both players are eliminated, the round is a tie

and no points are awarded.

The winner of the game is determined in a

“best of three rounds” format.

A player winning the first two rounds

automatically wins the “best of three” and

there is no third round.

If players are tied after three rounds, play

continues with new rounds until the tie

is broken.

A player scoring a KNOCKOUT in any round

automatically wins the game.

Head to Head -Subtraction

Follow the same basic rules for Head to Head

Addition except in Subtraction mode:

Both players add the dice. Then, players

subtract the dice value from 12 to find the

number to match.

Example:

Possible number combinations to “knock

out” (press) for 4:

4 1 & 3

The winner of the game is determined in the

same “best of three rounds” format of Head to

Head

Addition.
