Description

Factor Tennis is a very simple game, where players work together to try and get as many shots in a ‘rally’ as possible by naming factor pairs of selected numbers in a given time (usually 1 minute). The game can also be played competitively (see Adaptations), where players score points as in a traditional tennis match when their opponents cannot find the pair for their factor.
