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.

How It Works
Players play cards from their hand to add to a running total without exceeding 101. Special cards allow skipping turns, reversing play order, or modifying the total by specific amounts. If a player cannot make a valid play, they lose one of three tokens. The game ends when only one player remains with tokens.
