Description
What the Heck is a fast-paced and simple game that's all about bidding and bluffing your way to the top. With a playtime of just 20 minutes, it's the perfect game for a quick gathering with friends, and with 2 to 5 players, everyone can join in on the fun. The game rules are easy to learn, so you can dive right in and start playing. In What the Heck, players take turns bidding on prizes, using numbered cards to try and outdo each other. The twist is that some prizes are worth positive points, while others will cost you points, so you'll need to strategize carefully to come out on top. With its unique blend of auction and simultaneous action selection mechanics, this 1988 game from Alex Randolph is still a blast to play today, and its lack of necessary in-game text means everyone can play together, regardless of language.
