Wins:  1 Highest Count: 21</title><link>https://empiresandpuzzles.forum/topic/680-count-to-20-before-a-mod-or-ocz-post-a-0-wins-1-highest-count-21/</link><description><![CDATA[<p>
	Good evening all.  As some of you know, this game came from the old forum, and we started it up on the new discord empires server.  I recently ran a poll and there was a higher vote in having the game here and on the Discord server.  With that being said, I will pull over a copy of the rules from Discord. <br>
	<br>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Rules: no counting back to back with yourself, gotta have someone else there.  Some words are set as numbers since the counting has been going so long.   <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="https://empiresandpuzzles.forum/profile/95-pike/?do=hovercard" data-mentionid="95" href="https://empiresandpuzzles.forum/profile/95-pike/" rel="">@ Pike </a> is the number 6, upside down he's a 9, piketeen is 16.  There are other words that you'll discover in time.<br>
	 
</p>

<p>
	The long and short of it is that this is a game that has brought connection and friendship together in a community that is literally global.  Thank you all for your participation and for the fun we've had over the last 6-7 years.  <br>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Now without further ado, I give to you the counting game.  
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	1 for the money
