Out of Bounds
An exciting math adventure across the coordinate plane.
Chart Your Course. Master the Grid.
Out of Bounds is a journey of discovery on the coordinate plane. Players draw cards with unique instructions—like plotting absolute coordinates to (3,4), moving relatively 'East 4 spaces,' or even rotating '180 degrees.' The mission is to skillfully navigate your game piece off the board! When one player goes 'Out of Bounds,' their adventure is complete, but the learning and fun continue for everyone else. It's self-paced, engaging, and perfect for the classroom. There is even an 'EASY' option for younger students with limited movements and only the top-right quadrant.
