I love that the prime numbers after 10 are red, and that you end on a prime number.

Even better, is I love the divisions of each number, showing the multiplication factors.

Well thought out, solid design, and has randomness incorporated into the game to keep it addictive, yet it seems simple enough to play with your kids, which is clearly the goal.

Can't wait to get my copy.

I think it is a neat idea, but I don't find the colors and design as attractive as I think they could be. Right off, a bolder palette would probably help. I don't think a dull gray background does the look of the game any favors. Oh, had anyone considered using polygons instead of circles?
This... looks pretty fun actually. Visualizing each number by its factors is brilliant. You can simply add up the factors to get the product.
Wow — beautiful.
what a lovely design!
