Hi AkiTetsuya,

Be sure to check out [How to ask Great Questions v2.0](https://community.thunkable.com/t/how-to-ask-great-questions-v2-0/2689983/1), the [Community Guidelines](https://community.thunkable.com/t/community-guidelines/78/8), and our [Getting Started Guide](https://docs.thunkable.com/getting-started/get-started) to make the best of your Thunkable Community experience!

The use of the math blocks for multiplying the scores seems fine, if you are running into issues, we should look at Play X ScoreY text. Is that populating a number? From what I can see, you are setting those scores to 0.

If you’re looking to calculate scores, it is always best to start with a variable for each player and set that variable to 0. From there, you can increase or decrease the value of the variable (i.e. the score) and then use the variables to add up the scores.

As @matt_conroy mentioned, store the scores in variables. It’s not good practice to use a label’s Text to store your values. For one thing, if you ever want to save the scores after the app has been quit, you’ll need a variable or data source to do that.
