Merry Modulo Match

Objective

Be the first player to move all three of your pieces from START to FINISH.

Play against a friend, play in teams or earn a trophy by beating the computer.

How to Play

1. On your turn, click the SPIN button to get a random number (6-36).
2. Choose one of the three MODULO buttons to determine how many spaces to move.
3. The number of spaces equals the remainder of the wheel number divided by the modulo number.
4. Click on one of your pieces to move it forward the calculated number of spaces.
5. If you land on a square occupied by any piece (yours or your opponent's), that piece is sent back to START.
6. You don't need an exact number to land on FINISH - any move that reaches or passes FINISH counts.
7. The first player to get all three pieces to FINISH wins!

Modulo Examples

• 21 modulo 3 = 0 (no movement) because 21 is a multiple of 3 so there is no remainder after division.
• 21 modulo 5 = 1 (move 1 space) because there is a remainder of 1 after dividing 21 by 5.
• 21 modulo 7 = 0 (no movement) because 21 is a multiple of 7.
• 17 modulo 3 = 2 (move 2 spaces) because 17 divided by 3 is 5 and the remeinder is 2.
• 17 modulo 5 = 2 (move 2 spaces)
• 17 modulo 7 = 3 (move 3 spaces)
