What to Expect
Players take turns adding number cards to a shared total that must not exceed 101. Special cards can reverse turn order, skip turns, or adjust the total by set amounts. Players lose one of three tokens if they cannot play a card, and the last player with tokens wins after multiple rounds. The game combines basic math with tactical hand management.
Who Is This Game For?
This game is suitable for families and casual players aged 8 and up who enjoy simple arithmetic and hand management tactics. With a playtime around 30 minutes, it fits well into short gaming sessions. No prior experience is necessary thanks to straightforward rules.
How It Works
