RUNNING COUNT — TRAINING GUIDE
Goal: keep a correct running count while cards appear. At the end, enter your final total.

Why this module matters

At a real table, the count has to stay accurate while attention is split. This drill trains stability: you keep the number correct even while cards come fast and your focus tries to drift.
