Description
Relationship Tightrope is a fast-paced card game designed by Reiner Knizia, where 3 to 5 players navigate a delicate balance of risk and strategy. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, players are thrown into a 30-minute game of simultaneous action selection and trick-taking. Each turn, players compete for red and blue sticks, with the highest card taking the blue sticks and the lowest card taking the red sticks. The twist is that red sticks cancel out blue sticks, making balance the key to scoring as few points as possible. Players can choose to play strategically, selecting cards sequentially like a traditional trick-taking game, or go for a more spontaneous approach, playing cards simultaneously. Either way, Relationship Tightrope promises a fun and engaging experience, as players walk the tightrope between risk and reward. First published in 1999, this game has stood the test of time, offering a unique and entertaining experience for players of all ages.
