Step into the world of Britain’s most iconic TV quiz show with Countdown (1997) by Spears Games. Just like the programme, this board game challenges players to test their vocabulary, maths skills, and quick thinking as they race against the clock to solve word and number puzzles. It’s a brilliant blend of entertainment and education, making it perfect for families, friends, and fans of the classic show.
How to Play
In Countdown (1997), players take part in nine rounds of challenges: six word games, two number games, and one final conundrum. In the word rounds, contestants draw a mix of vowels and consonants before racing against the sand timer to form the longest valid word they can. The number rounds require players to combine selected numbers to reach a randomly generated target using only addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Finally, the conundrum round puts everyone’s brainpower to the test with a tricky anagram. Points are awarded each round, and the contestant with the highest total at the end wins.
