This is a great game for introducing multiplication facts for beginners, as well as practicing multiplication skills for the more experienced math student. The game also develops strategy skills and analytical skills. The main emphasis is for students to learn and practice their multiplication skills.

The drawings are colorful and fun. The premise is engaging: the player must pack socks for a variety of monsters who each have a different number of sock needs. The materials are relatively sturdy. Kids will return again and again to the game which allows them to practice their multiplication skills in a way that is more engaging than flash cards or work sheets.

This game says that it is designed for kids who are 8 years and above, but I think the age could be closer to 6 or 7 and above, when students are just beginning work on their multiplication tables.
