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. Believed to have had a press run of around 100 copies, Play By Numbers is considered one of the most hard to find Boards of Canada releases.

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.^{[citation needed]} The excerpt lasted in total about fifty-six seconds.
