📖 About This Game

The Fast Pace Numbers Card Game is super fun for the entire family.​ Use numbers and symbols to form an equation that results in 10,9,8,7 etc. and win the game. Content: 85 Playing Cards [each with a number 0-10, or an operation +-*/ .] Rules and Game Variations —description from the publisher The 11 Countdown cards are placed in a face-up pile in decreasing order, 10 to 0. Players are dealt 5 Action cards each, and the rest make the face-down draw pile. In a turn a player makes an equation using cards in their hand to equal the top of the stock pile, if possible; if they can, they keep all the cards of that equation and the top stock card in a separate pile. The turn ends by drawing a card whether or not they made an equation. The round ends when a player takes the last stock card; the winner of the round is the player with the most cards won. The overall winner is the first player to win 3 rounds. Rules for 10 different rules variants are included. —user summary
