PLAYED FOR YOU

The Game

… keep playinG while you can!

The Game is simple - place as many cards as you can, according to the rules and as a team. The game comprises number cards of values 2 to 99. Four row cards - two of value 1 for ascending rows and two of value 100 for descending rows are laid out, players are dealt 6, 7 or 8 cards, depending on the number of players, and the rest is draw pile. In turn players place number cards into rows, always in ascending or descending order according to the respective row card, any number of gaps of any size is allowed.

In your turn you must place at least two cards and my place all your cards from your hand, in any amount in any rows and in order of rows; then you re-fill your hand. You can also apply the “backwards” rule as often as you can and want: If you place a card that is exactly higher by 10 than the card that was played last in a descending row or, respectively, lower by 10 than the last card placed in an ascending row, you may, so to say, play backwards.

Communication is also allowed, you may not, however, name concrete numbers, but you can say “please do not play into an ascending row“ or „if possible, use the backwards rule“ or similar things. When the draw pile is empty, you need only place one card per turn. When nobody can place a card anymore, the game ends; fewer than 10 remaining cards are a fantastic result. Should you manage to place all cards, The Game has been defeated.

The Game is a challenging, thrilling, albeit abstract and yet fun game, working well for each number of players and every group; misunderstood communication can cause emotions, but does that really merit a skull on the cover?
