Goatdown is a variant on the general Countdown game that is popularly played over MSN Messenger, on Apterous, but also occasionally played at real life tournaments.
Differences from regular Countdown
The main difference from Countdown is that instead of choosing a consonant or a vowel for the ninth letter, a contestant may select any specific letter of the alphabet. For example: 'consonant, consonant, vowel' might become 'consonant, consonant, E'. Scoring is the same as in standard Countdown.
Example game
(Specifically chosen letter in bold).
