The underlying game has some math in its design but nothing anyone playing would notice. It's mostly just a board game made to teach some religious principles then got a rebrand. The most math it has for the player is counting so it might have a leg up on candyland.

The ones that have a good amount of math probably wouldn't be fun for most or have too many rules. Most would probably be better off with math blasters or just doing their homework.

Dammit I did get it confused with Candyland, didn't I?
