French numbers game
The full run from zéro to cent, then the landmarks past it: deux cents, mille, un million. Most of the difficulty sits between 70 and 99, where French stops naming numbers and starts adding them up.

Questions
Why is 70 soixante-dix and not its own word?
French counts in twenties above sixty. Seventy is sixty-ten, eighty is four-twenties, ninety is four-twenty-ten, and ninety-nine is quatre-vingt-dix-neuf, four twenties ten nine. The set drills the whole range so the pattern becomes automatic.
Does it include septante and nonante?
No. The set uses the metropolitan French forms. Belgium and Switzerland use septante for 70 and nonante for 90, and much of Switzerland uses huitante for 80, but those are not what this deck teaches.
Why does 21 have an et and 22 does not?
Vingt et un, trente et un and their siblings keep the et; everything else hyphenates. Seventy-one is the odd one out at soixante et onze, sixty-and-eleven, and the games ask for it as written.
