How to play

1. Before class, tape 20 numbered cards to the board with a random point value hidden on the back of each.
2. Ask a review question. Whoever answers correctly picks an unclaimed number and writes their name next to it, hoping it hides a high value.
3. Twist: instead of picking a new number, a student can steal an already-claimed one — the student they bumped writes their name next to the nearest open number instead.
4. At the end, flip every card and add up each student's points.
