We Need a New Countdown Board Game!

[Philip A]

When are we ever going to have Countdown board games back on the shelves again? There hasn't been one since 2014. It was made by Rocket Games which doesn't exist anymore, and it was a decent game with enough cards, a board, a 10-sided target die and a time unit to play it exactly as the show.

There's a new Bullseye game for 2025 and also a Bridge of Lies game, so there's clearly still a market for TV show games. Why has no one tried to revive the Countdown board game with a play-along app and QR code? We've had a couple of new A4 puzzle books with teasers from Colin Murray which are great but the sequence of new board games ever 4 to 5 years seems to have died out.

It would be good practice for aspiring future contestants!
