What It Is
In Count Me In, players count and organize the items in a garden. There are two ways to play this number sequencing game. In the cooperative version, players take turns placing cards into rows of ascending number order (1-10), making sure that an item appears only once in each row. So you can't have two cards with mushrooms on them in the same row. Players work together as a team to create each sequence. Once two rows are complete, everyone has won the game.
In the competitive version, the cards are turned facedown, which adds a memory aspect to the gameplay. Put cards of the same color in rows of ascending number order, 1-7. Each player takes turns turning over the cards to reveal the items on the cards. If a player reveals the same item twice (such as two mushrooms on one card and five on another), their turn is over. The first player to turn over seven cards without revealing the same item more than once wins a special card. The first player to win three cards wins the game.
Count Me In comes with 50 playing cards and instructions in English, Spanish, and French. The game is for two to four players.
