Math Knight

From BoardGameGeek:

Use simple math in unexpected ways to slay monsters, grow stronger, and save the day. The Scarlet Mage has twisted the once-beautiful forest into a place few dare to enter. Mighty heroes have ventured in-some returning in haste, others never seen again. Today, you step into the woods. Armed with a handful of basic moves and the belief that every obstacle has a solution, you'll face monsters that test your wits and adaptability. Each battle sharpens your skills, making you smarter, stronger, and more prepared. But will it be enough to overcome the final challenge-the Scarlet Mage himself? -description from the designer The game was designed for the 2025 9-Card Nanogame P&P Design Contest, and it achieved the following awards: 1st place - Best Overall Game 1st place - Best Solitaire Game 1st place - Most Innovative Mechanic 2nd place - Most Thematic Game
