Like in chess or checkers, in Matego you also fight against an hostile army. But this time your soldiers are numbers and your weapons all four basic math operations. The goal of Matego is to destroy as fast as possible the numbers of your opponent. If you play against the computer, the higher the level and the more numbers you eliminate, the more points you will receive. If you play with an other player, you win if your opponent has no more numbers left.
You play Matego by moving the cursor in your army to the line where you want to attack. After that you make the number in the cursor equal to the sum of the two numbers "at the other side" and you fire. The pressure is on, because in the meantime your opponent is attacking you, and if you make a mistake two of your own numbers will disappear. Besides adding, experienced players can also subtract, multiply or divide the numbers of their opponent. The High Scores list will stimulate your motivation!
