This review is from: 4 Way Countdown (Toy)
My son got the two player version of Countdown for his birthday when he turned 8 and we quickly found out how wonderful this learning game is! On each turn, the player roles two dice and chooses a function to make a number 1 through 10. For example, if you role a 2 and a 3, you can add them to make 5, multiply them to make 6 or subtract them to make 1. The first person to clear all ten numbers wins the game. To add more interest, when you role 5 and 6 the game lets you either take it as a 1, or you get to knock down all your opponents numbers. Double sixes - major bummer - all your numbers get knocked down and you start over.
After only playing a few times, I found that my son started effortlessly switching gears between all four math functions (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) to make whatever number he needed to clear off his board. Since then, we have purchased the 4 player version of Countdown as a class gift for his 3rd and 4th grade classrooms - and the teachers love it! Kids learn while having fun - you can't beat that! This game can be used for younger kids too - just have them use only addition and subtraction. Then add in multiplication and division when they're ready. I can't say enough wonderful things about this game - you will love it and your children will too!

I purchased this game so that I could help my 7 year old son practice his math. All I can say is WOW! This game makes math so much fun. I played the game with my 7 and 5 year old boys over and over again this afternoon. The games go pretty fast and are so much fun. They didn't want to stop! This will definately be a regular game for us!

This review is from: 4 Way Countdown (Toy)
I purchased this item for a first grader who is very interested in anything having to do with math. However, this item does not provide much challenge because of certain limitations. Specifically, the numbers only go to ten (10), therefore you are restricted if you multiply or if you add.
I made it more challenging by placing numbers 11-20 on two of the rows.
