He may look like a little guy, but 8-year-old Gage Mauro likes to think big.
When asked to design a board game for a national contest, the second grader didnât disappoint. The title of his work, âThe Super Long Math Game of Rolling Dice and Involves Earth,â says it all.
The board for Gageâs game was designed on the inside of an unfolded cardboard box, roughly six feet long and four feet wide, repurposed from the last box fort the family made. The game involves 18 dice, math equations, tree cards, place markers and 280 spaces that can be as rewarding as they are perilous for the players. The prototype for the game is packaged in a recycled jumbo-sized zipper bag.
