The game Ski and Roll is a dice-based ski game where your numeracy skills are put to the test.

The goal of this game is to be the first one down the slope on you skies. However, to advance you must find out which of the math equations has the result in middle, that is, not the highest, and not the lowest. Get your answers right and your avatar will advance related to how large the number is.

Each round you will get a new trio of dice-based operations and you use the cursors to select the middle one. Beware, sometimes there will be no middle one! Dodge the polar bears playing in the snow and avoid the sea monster attacking the boat! Just kidding, they don’t impact gameplay; they’re purely decorative (but definitely adorable).

Why the dice go up to 8 is part of the mysteries of life, you are not required to know or seek the answer to that, just worry about the math questions. This game requires you to play honestly, no savegames, no pen and paper, no rewinding. The game will not enforce any of that, but if you cheat you will only be lying to yourself, so don’t do it.
