Description
Count Up is a fast-paced and simple game that's all about numbers and strategy. Released in 2019, this base game is designed for 3 to 6 players and can be learned in no time, making it perfect for a quick game night with friends. The goal is to accumulate as many points as possible by being the leader and counting up numbers from 1 to 50. Each player secretly chooses 5 numbers between 1 and 49, with some restricted numbers adding an extra layer of challenge. As the numbers are counted up, players raise their hand if they've chosen the current number, and if they're the only one, they become the leader and start earning points. The leader continues counting until another player raises their hand alone, taking over as the new leader. This bluffing mechanic adds a fun twist, as players need to balance their number choices with the risk of being outmaneuvered by others. With a playtime of just 10 minutes, Count Up is a great game for those who enjoy math and strategy, and its short rounds make it easy to play multiple times in one sitting. After 4 rounds, the player with the most points is declared the winner, making Count Up a thrilling and competitive experience for all involved.
