Are you chicken?

Who is not yet falling off the cliff?

You want to get as near to the cliff, that is to number 5, without falling off. The game comprises 103 Run cards, 15 x 0, 55 x 1, 28 x 2 und 5 x 3. Those cards are shuffled together with 7 Action cards, which have values of 0-1-2-2-3-3-3. A dealer is determined. Then each player is dealt a card and displays it open-faced. In round 2, each player draws a card and puts it face-down to the right of the open card. Then all players are active in turn, beginning with the dealer, and decide if the want to draw a card, lay it down face-down at the right-most position in the row and reveal the previous card in the row or if they pass. When the then visible total sum is higher than 5, you have lost the round immediately and immediately lose points on the scoring table, according to the number of open cards in your row, too. The last card you drew goes back to the draw pile. When all have passed, all players reveal all their cards - whoever now has a total of 5 or less on the most cards and on more cards than the dealer, wins the round and scores. The dealer scores, when another player has 5 or less with the same number of cards or fewer cards than the dealer. Action cards in your row are number cards; if you have 5 or less points, you can keep them for the next round and use them for action cards to influence your total. If you score 20 points, you win; with -20 points, you have fallen off the cliff for good and are out of the game.

No risk, no fun - cute, fast and lots of fun for betting souls! Cautious play and passing alone will not get you anywhere, because you must top the dealer’s card count to win.
