This game teaches itself in under 30 seconds. If you can count up to 9, you’re already halfway there. Easy enough for anyone to play and the addictive tension keeps you coming back. It’s fast, portable, and way more addictive than it looks. Don’t push the total over 9. Play number cards into the pile and say what the new total is. Use special cards to mix it up and force others to play. If you cause the pile over 9, you take a strike. First to 3 strikes loses. The tension rises as the total increases, and players try to manage when they can play their high number cards.
