About The Game
Introduction
Wendell 7 is a new and unique card game that creates a completely new dimension in educational games for students. This game provides a fun activity for everyone. With today's generation mainly spending their days browsing the internet and playing computer games, Wendell 7 gives an alternative option to society, to play a card game amongst friends or family, whilst improving in maths skills and having fun.Mental Arithmetic
Wendell 7 demonstrates addition, and has 3 levels of difficulty. A time limit can be set. The goal is to problem solve and work either alone, or with a partner, to strategically gain the optimum score of seven points in each round. This game isn't just for people who score the highest marks for Mathematics in a school examination, it's for everyone! Those who can analyse the cards in their hands and add up quickly and accurately will be the winner, and those who struggle will learn and improve very quickly.Social Element
An excellent aspect of the game is the social dimension: players can gather in small groups to work and play together. They have to think fast and help their team mates - this promotes a good understanding of teamwork, and everybody feels like they are part of something.Leadership
The facilitator who deals must be fair and honest. He/She needs to keep a keen eye on the players and their calculations. There is hardly any margin for error. They must monitor the discipline of the group of players. The person keeping the score needs to be accurate, honest and quick. They are also accountable for the results. The facilitator must know the rules and make sure that they are not broken.The Conclusion
The game provides a motivating and fun way to practice basic mental mathematic skills. It is very useful when teaching mathematics to students of all ages and abilities. Because the game provides 3 different levels, we believe it can help to achieve better results for everyone. Not only is this game targeted at children to enable them to improve in the field of mathematics, we have witnessed family bonding from playing this game, elderly at nursing homes loving Wendell 7, and even friends enjoying a few drinks and using their brains in a fun card game. Wendell 7 suits everyone, including you.Who Are We?
