Go, Matria! is an educational word game based on the ancient Kaballah system of numerology, Gematria, where each letter has a numerical value based on its placement in the alphabet. As time begins, players roll the die and race each other to collect letters, but they must be careful – players can steal each other’s letters! Once a player collects ten letters they must yell out, “Go, Matria!” to be safe from having their letters stolen by another player. They then race the timer and each other to create as many words as possible with the highest point value, using each letter only once. For 2-4 players.
