How to play (select arrow)

Use 24 as a target number.
Take in turns to count on by saying the next 1, 2 or 3 number words in the sequence, placing the items into a central pile as they are counted.
Players collect a point if they say the target number.
A new target number is chosen and players play again.
Try playing forwards and backwards.
