Here are a list of games that help you improve your mathematical skills because they require multiplication, squares, etc.

I've searched for similar lists but I was surprised that I couldn't find any. Feel free to post them here also (as if you needed permission).

Or please add your own games that help improve math skills.

It's all about the math. Add and subtract out the tiles then multiply the sum times the value of your kingdom.

A word game? No, a math game. You buy and sell based on the squares of the number of dots on the letters.

You might need to brush up on your math skills first, but this game should definitely improve them as well.

The last half of the game turns into a brain burning math problem. This game should be a teaching aid for 5th and 6th grade students.

This is a scrabble variant that involves constructing a sequence of numbers that add up to a multiple of three. The numbers must be in ascending or descending order, and there are double/triple sequence squares (totalling the entire sequence) as well as double/triple tile (2x or 3x the tile for first use). Zero can be used to terminate a sequence, and a blank tile is simply that: a space, not a wild card.

Quite a good game.

I just received this game for Christmas. From what I had read about it, and from what I read in the rules, this game may really stretch your math patience. I see that one or more spreadsheets have been posted here, to do the math for you. I'm about ready to try a solitaire game of this, so I'll soon find out about the math work.

Brewery and beergarden share income, players split further from there. Any remainder goes to boss piece.

A math version of Scrabble is what this appears to be. I've never played it, but I've been tempted to get it to try with my math geek family. The thing that is keeping me from pulling the trigger is that it looks so, so, educational or something.

Cronberg is similar to Auf Heller und Pfennig. I'm planning on introducing this game to 3rd and 4th grade students because there are both positive and negative numbers to add and multiply each turn. For example, a player lays a building tile then adds 4 - 2 - 4 + 1 to get -9, then possibly multiply that by 2 or 3 or 4, or turn it into a positive number. And it's a fun game. Available for free at the publisher's web site.

I'm surprised no one else added this, the geekiest of them all. The dice contain digits and arithmetic symbols including powers and roots. Players try to find ways to form an expression which equals the goal value. About half the rules pertain to challenging violations of the rules. Even so, the rules to the basic game can fit on a single page; see the files section.
