Once all the answers are revealed, the player must figure out who's definitely an idiot. But if someone is erroneously called an idiot, he can steal the accuser’s points. Idiots who don't get caught get bonus points. So the question to be asked in this game is ... who's really the idiot and who's just fooling?

Roll ’n Multiply, the game of multiplication, strategy and fun, assists younger children in basic multiplication skills and challenges players who are proficient in multiplication.

Corresponding game pieces are then strategically placed on the playing board. Four in a row wins the game — but watch out! A playing piece may be captured and flipped to the other side.
