Description

The “Numbers Up” game by Milton Bradley and John Sands, a vintage educational game from the 1970s, is a fun and engaging way to practice counting, number recognition, and basic math skills. Originally designed as a children’s game, it features a straightforward and interactive setup that encourages players to match numbers to solve puzzles. Although this set is missing the number 12, it remains largely playable and ideal for both collectors and those interested in nostalgic, hands-on learning tools.

The game’s colorful design and durable components make it both attractive and long-lasting, adding to its appeal among collectors of vintage educational games. Its inclusion in the 1977 line by Milton Bradley highlights its era-specific charm and appeal, especially with its emphasis on developing foundational numeracy in a fun, tactile format. Players can easily use this game as an educational tool for younger children, or enjoy it as a nostalgic item reminiscent of classic classroom activities.

For collectors, “Numbers Up” represents a piece of 1970s educational history. As with many John Sands games distributed in Australia, it’s a cherished item in vintage game circles. This particular edition, while incomplete, offers a rare glimpse into the educational toys that shaped a generation and continues to appeal to those who appreciate retro educational materials.
