Noodle Me Please!

In short

A family math game for HATCH (The Creativity Project, Pittsburgh), for a child and an adult to play together. Players pinch rubber-band noodles with pipe-cleaner chopsticks. Playtests replaced our first idea, estimating elapsed time, with push-your-luck bidding, which kept children leading and adults watching rather than directing.
