Slide 5

What to Expect

In Slide 5, players build stacks called “hills” by placing cards on the table. When a hill reaches five cards, the sixth card triggers an “Avalanche” forcing that player to take all cards in the hill and start a new one with the sixth card. The game demands tactical hand management and quick decisions in a lively group.

Who Is This Game For?

Slide 5 is aimed at families and casual gamers aged 8 and up who enjoy short, social sessions. Its simple rules make it accessible, while the hand management mechanic offers some tactical depth for more experienced players. With about 30 minutes playtime, it fits well into party or family gatherings with many participants.

How It Works

Players lay cards from their hand to form hills. Once a hill is five cards high, the sixth card causes an avalanche, and the player must take all cards from that hill. They then start a new hill with the sixth card. The hand management mechanic forces careful card use to avoid collecting many cards.

What Makes It Special

Designed by Wolfgang Kramer, Slide 5 is a re-themed version of 6 nimmt! and was nominated for the 2008 Golden Geek Best Card Game. Its mix of hand management and avalanche mechanics creates dynamic gameplay for large groups. It belongs to the ‘Lowest Score Wins’ family of games.
