When my daughter Stephanie was at school she had problems with maths. I tried to buy a game that might help her, but there were no games available at that time. I liked maths so I decided to make one myself.
Within a week I had created a board game, unfortunately although it worked, it was slow and laborious and there was no fun in playing it.
I put the game away and on many occasions over the years I got it out and tried to work on ways to improve it. Many years later, after my daughter had left school, got married and had two children of her own, I cracked the problems with the game. I came up with the Multi-choice.
I sudddenly had a game that worked properly, it allowed maths to be played by all ages, helped children improve their number skills whilst playing a game.
It was challenging, educational and most important of all it was FUN to play.
