Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Take on the challenge of the ever-popular TV series Countdown in your own living room as you race against the clock to make up the longest possible word from the letter cards you have chosen, or come up with the right solution in the number game, or finally solve the all-important conundrum that could make or break your chances of winning...

Fantastic (and frustrating!), fun for all the family to play together, Countdown is a great game that challenges players to challenge themselves. The game comes with letter cards, number cards, a "number randomiser" (press the button and it gives you the number you have to aim for), score pads and a sand timer. The only real pity is that the players have to rely on their own vocal talents to make that famous Countdown noise... and therein lies a game in itself! (Age 10 to adult) --Susan Harrison

Product Description

Based on Channel 4's popular show. This game represents the show, consisting of nine rounds: six letter games, two number games and one conundrum, although there is no reason to get stage fright because you can play at home in your living room!

3.0 out of 5 stars Countdown to a great night in! 29 Aug 2001
Durability: 3.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 3.0 out of 5 stars   
I'm a university student and sometimes(only sometimes) we like to do more in our flat on a night than go out and get drunk. A group of us put our money together to buy it and after our first night in, we felt it was an excellent game and are making "Countdown Night" a weekly event. Unlike most games it gives you the chance to use that piece of grey matter between your ears(Usually known as the brain) and get you thinking!

I would definally recommend it to anyone who wants a good night in with either family or friends

And you can even bend the rulesa a bit(like we did) and make whoevere loses the round take a shot of something vile i.e Tiquilla,Vodka (MAY ONLY APPLY TO UNIVERSITY STUDENTS)

Anyway

BUY IT!!!
