Description
In Zero Down, a classic card game designed by Reiner Knizia, the goal is to score as few points as possible. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, 2 to 5 players can dive into a game that lasts just 20 minutes. The game involves collecting the right cards to minimize your score, using card drafting and set collection mechanics to gather cards numbered 1-8 in seven colors. Players take turns swapping cards or passing, trying to collect five or more cards of the same color or number to score zero points for those cards. The game ends after a number of rounds equal to the number of players, and the player with the lowest score wins. With its quick playtime and easy-to-learn rules, Zero Down is a great option for a fun and fast-paced game night, and its 1998 publication has stood the test of time as a engaging and challenging card game.
