In Proof! players use their creativity to connect a single mathematical equation to a real-world scenario in humorous, absurd, or thought-provoking ways. Each round, the "Judge" presents an equation, and the other players must use a single-word Prompt Card to come up with a unique connection. The Judge picks the best answer, and the winning player earns a point. The game resists the universalizing impulse of calculation, instead offering a momentary rupture where the infinite potential of the equation is allowed to expand outward, spilling over into the unpredictable multiple.
