Calculation

Game Description

Anyone living in the UK will probably be familiar with the TV program Countdown, and it’s numbers round (as well as the slightly irritating people starring therein). For those who aren’t, the idea goes thusly:

Six numbers are selected at random, mostly between 1 and 9, with a few 50’s and 100’s thrown in. A 3-digit total is chosen, and contestants must try to make the total using some or all of the numbers given.

This is also the idea of Calculation. It allows up to 6 players at once if you can fit that many round the keyboard, and will improve the lateral and mathematical thinking skills of them all.
