Abstract: DaMath is an educational game that embodies the concept of a local strategy game, dama, combined with mathematics by adding computational values and operators on its chips and board, respectively. Education authorities have promoted the game in the Philippines especially to students as part of a collaborative endeavour to increase awareness of learning mathematics. However, certain game requirements like board, chips and counter player are a hindrance to game portability and easy accessibility. Mobile gaming technology satisfies such requirements. Likewise, the number of students using mobile applications for learning has increased significantly over the past ten years.
