Rack-O Card Game
The player who is the first to get 10 cards into low-to-high sequential order is the winner. A fun way to teach numbers to younger children. 2-4 players.Like many card games, Rack-O is part skill, part luck of the draw. Two to four players try to get their rack of 10 cards in consecutive order, from lowest to highest, first. The cards are numbered from 1 to 60, and each player takes a turn by drawing and discarding. Bonus Rack-O points are earned when a player gets a perfect run of three or more cards. The first to rack up 500 points wins. The rule book doesn’t suggest variations, but more challenge can be added by having to get certain number patterns, like even numbers or multiples of 3, which will also increase the number skills development that’s part of this game. –Lynne Sampson

5 Stars Rack-O
Rack-O has been a longtime favorite with our family. We have played it with each of our grandchildren when then were 5-12 years old. It emphasizes “larger than” and “smaller than” number relationships. Often their parents join in the fun.
2 Stars Fun game….cheap cards
This game is a lot of fun….but the cards are so cheap! we played just a few games and they were already starting to tear.
5 Stars Wonderful classic game!
It’s a fun game from way back.
It’s a bit educational regarding math skills.
Since it’s a card game, and no card is durable against folding and ripping, I can’t say it’s durable.
5 Stars A Lot of Fun to Play
I’d played this game years ago. It grows on you. It’s fun for ages 8 to 80.
5 Stars Great Game!
This is a great game for everyone in the family. It really helps children with numbers and sequencing.
