Addition Top-It Directions: 1. Shuffle the deck and place it number-side down. 2. Each player turns over 2 cards and call out the sum. Use the addition/subtraction Facts Table, if necessary. 3. The players with the largest sum wins the round and takes all of the cards. 4. In case of a tie, each tied player turns over 2 more cards. The player with the largest sum takes all of the cards from both plays. 5. The game ends when not enough cards are left for each player to have another turn. 6. The player with the most cards win. Tally the "cards" each player wins . . .
