Description
Get ready for a thrilling game of 5 Alive, a fast-paced card game designed by Eàmon Bloomfield. In this simple yet strategic game, 2 to 6 players compete to be the last one standing, starting with 5 lives each. The goal is to play cards from your hand without taking the running total above 21, or you'll lose a life. With a variety of normal and wild cards, the game is full of surprises. Wild cards can reset the total, skip players, or even reverse the direction of play, adding an extra layer of excitement to the game. With a playtime of just 30 minutes, 5 Alive is perfect for a quick game night with friends. First published in 1990, this classic card game has been re-implemented as Boom-O, but the original remains a fun and engaging experience for players of all ages.
