Count to ten thousand! (Part 2)

I’ve been trying to avoid most of the obvious trains that crop up, but this is a nice old one.

This also seems like a good time to bring up the question of what next? In the forum where we first played this we immediately bounced back and started playing Count down to zero! Or we could try something harder like Count to one million!

If we go the million route I propose that we don’t need to post consecutive numbers, but maybe limit it to a gap of no more than 100 between posts.

Maybe only increasing by prime numbers?

I was wondering about the same issue recently and mused about counting back down - and that definitely gets my vote.

That is the underside of one of these

Regarding the game: Having (almost) proven I CAN count to 10,000, I would probably retire rather than do it again. I’m open to other unique games. Surely some other forum has a game we can copy.

Other games:
Counting, but in a Fibonacci sequence.

How about counting back down but with RULES?
Perhaps rules about removing the low-hanging fruit…
No LEGO or Playmobil, for a start, and no trains, tractors (or other agricultural behemoths), buses, planes, or cars (unless vintage examples of any of those).

Rules would be good, but they’d have to be repeated almost every other post. How about counting up (or down), with pix related to BB articles in some way? Link and picture required.

Yeah - you’re right. BB articles might be hard - the archive as a source is possibly too small. Might be worth a test run, though. Or how about a restricted category (which would be in the thread title, so not need repeating) such as ‘transport’ or ‘domestic appliances’ or ‘antiques’, etc.)

A restricted category could certainly go in the title. “Count <X> to 10000”
