Description
The Game is a cooperative card game where players work together to discard all 98 cards in the deck onto four discard piles. The goal is to win by getting rid of all the cards in the right order, which sounds simple but can be tricky. Each player starts with a hand of 6-8 cards and must discard at least two cards onto the piles on their turn, following ascending or descending order depending on the pile. As players take turns, they can give hints to each other about which cards to play or avoid, but they can't reveal exact numbers. This adds a fun layer of communication and strategy to the game. With its simple rules and quick 20-minute playtime, The Game is a great option for 1 to 5 players looking for a fun and challenging cooperative experience.
