We were playing the Crazy Squares game today. Two questions came up:

The same number could be played twice for the same envelope, correct? For instance, the number 24 could be played back to back for the multiple of 8 (the multiples of 6 were also included in the game, thus the two 24s).

Final question:
Could the number 60 be played as a multiple of 5 or is one only allowed to play the multiples up to the last number in an envelope? This card isn't included in the "multiples of 5" envelope but in the envelope for 100. Technically, it is a multiple of 5 though.

Hope this makes sense. Thanks!

Lori,

Thank you for your message. We are glad you asked your questions this will help other game players who are going through the same thing.

For the answer to your first question, yes 24 can be played back on for the multiple of 8 or 6. This works with either number, therefore it can be used.

On your second question, yes 60 could be played for a multiple of 5. You are correct that it is not listed on the envelope, but it can be used. This brings up a great point because RightStart is about thinking "outside the box", which is exactly what you did!

We hope you are having a great time playing the games! If you need anything further please let me know.

Make it a great day,

Cassie
