Countdown
Mark and Rheta Wallingford
Can anyone tell me what the game of Countdown is? How it's basically
played (not all the rules just a basic run down).

The board has two sets of pegs, one on each end, numbered one to ten. Each player takes turns rolling a set of dice. The numbers that come up can be added, subtracted, multiplied or divided in order to get an answer between one and ten. The corresponding peg is flipped, and the first person to flip all ten win.

middle daughters (nearly 9 and nearly 7) were quick to always add... but by
playing, they've now realized the advantage in being able to spot
subtractions, multiplication, and division problems.
Even my nearly 4 year old plays... at first, just counting the dots and
turning that peg (addition). Now she can sometimes see the subtraction
problems. And there are certain rolls that mean you or your opponent flip
all the pegs, so winning is never clear cut or easy!
Really great for them to play together.

Target... $15, although it's not on their website. The Target game looks
exactly like the one shown here. As they mention, Countdown is a version of
Shut The Box, which is a classic old game.
