Play by Numbers was a CD produced and created by Boards of Canada. Most of Boards of Canada's early works were made in very small runs and Play by Numbers is no exception. With only around 100 copies made, this is a rare album indeed.

A small excerpt of "Wouldn't You Like To Be Free" was hosted on a website that held a large amount of things related to Boards of Canada but has since gone down. The excerpt lasted in total about fifty-six seconds.
