About Xumbers
Xumbers is a fast-paced game that will challenge anyone who can add. It is like a crossword puzzle, except that Xumbers Words are composed of numbers instead of letters.
Xumbers Words represent additive equations. For example the Xumbers Word 235 represents the equation 2 + 3 = 5, and the Xumbers Word 23510 represents the equation 2 + 3 + 5 = 10 .
In Xumbers you compete against the Droid (your Android phone or tablet). When playing Xumbers, you and the Droid each get a tray of seven randomly selected digits. You combine these digits with Xumbers Words already on the board to create new Xumbers Words.
Scores for each move depend on the length of the Xumbers Word you (or the Droid) create - the longer the word, the higher the score. Setting the difficulty level allows you to choose whether the Droid challenges you with short Xumbers Words (Beginner), mid-length Xumbers Words (Intermediate) or the longest possible Xumbers Words (Expert).
The difficulty level setting is what makes the game enjoyable and addicting for both kids and adults. For young players, just making Xumbers Words is a challenge. For more experienced players the strategy becomes more complex - you not only want to make long Xumbers Words, you also want to block the Droid from extending your newly created Xumbers Word.

This is fun. Its like Soduku, it makes your brain work while entertaining you. There's also an element of strategy, like you can add stuff to an existing number word if your careful to re-add everything up right. It's good for kids too (especially in the default easy mode).
