Description
In 7 Ate 9, players are in a frantic rush to get rid of all their cards as quickly as possible. The game is incredibly simple to learn, with rules that can be explained in no time, making it accessible to everyone. Each card has a large number and a smaller one in the corner, which determines the next card that can be played. For example, a card with a 5 and a ±2 can be followed by either a 3 or a 7, since 5 minus 2 equals 3 and 5 plus 2 equals 7. This fast-paced game is all about hand management and pattern building, as players try to figure out which card to play next to get rid of their cards first. With a playtime of just 5 minutes, 7 Ate 9 is the perfect game for a quick break or a fun family game night, suitable for 2 to 4 players. Designed by Maureen Hiron and published in 2009, this game is a great way to have fun with numbers and patterns.
