The twist is that you can place a peg in a numbered spot or any empty spot above it, adding a layer of strategy to the game. With support for 2 to 9 players, 5ive Straight is a great game for large groups or small gatherings. Games are quick, lasting around 20 minutes, making it easy to fit in a few rounds. The combination of hand management, pattern building, and take-that mechanics makes for a engaging and interactive experience. Whether you're a seasoned gamer or just looking for a fun, easy-to-learn game, 5ive Straight is a great choice.
