description Contig Overview
Contig is a mathematical board game in which players place numbered chips on a grid by forming valid arithmetic equations from numbers already on the board. The game combines addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division with spatial planning, because each move depends on both the calculation and the available positions. It has been used as a classroom activity for practicing arithmetic and mathematical reasoning.
help Contig FAQ
How do you play Contig?
Players place numbered chips on a grid by forming valid arithmetic equations from numbers already on the board. A move therefore combines calculation with spatial planning.
Which arithmetic operations are used in Contig?
Contig uses addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Players must use those operations to create valid equations during play.
Why does the board position matter in Contig?
A legal move depends on both the equation and where the chip is placed on the grid. This makes Contig different from a calculation-only puzzle.
Is Contig a number game or a strategy game?
It is both. The arithmetic rules determine which moves are valid, while grid placement and planning create the strategic part of the game.
