For example, after one game of guess the number, I want it to tell me that i get one more game. P.S. I'm totally new to python (obviously), and I just added numberofgames variable in hopes of solving this problem. am I on the right track? Thanks for any assistance!

First off, why are you adding two? Is this a typo?

You have here a counter, but it's counting up. To figure out how many
games are left, just subtract the numberofgames from the total number
of games that you'll be allowing - that's how many there are left. Do
you know how to do that?
