This is just like the counting game thread, but the catch is that you can only count with Roman numerals.

I'll start!

I

Edit: Confused on how Roman numerals work? Don't worry! @MailicedeNamedy has you covered. Here's an explanation from a post she made later on in this thread.

MailicedeNamedy wrote:The first numbers are easy:
I
II
III
1,2,3

5= V
10 = X
50 = L
100 = C
500 = D
1000 = M

The numbers are counted.

We are now at CXLVII
which is C+(X-L)+V+I+I
If the letter is smaller than the next one, you subtract it. Especially in large numbers, it can be hard.

MCMXCIV stands for 1994

Remember the numbers from above:
1000 (M)-----------------1000
C-M (100-1000)---------+900
X-C (10-100)-------------+90
I-V (1-5)------------------+4
=1994

I like that mode. Maybe we should also add some counting game where we write the numbers out in different languages. (Master mode Deluxe)

Yes! That would be fun.

Extra challenge mode: you're not allowed to use the same language as the person before you.
