What it is

More than thirty years old and, we think, still the best big-table filler. Everyone picks a card at once, cards resolve in order, and whoever plays the sixth card in a row takes the five already there and eats the penalty cows. Scales to ten, teaches in two minutes, and keeps lawyers and nine-year-olds equally engaged.

What we love

  • Scales up to ten players without turn-length rising
  • A real tactical layer hides inside the chaos once you spot the pivot cards
  • Travel-size, cheap, almost indestructible

Honest trade-offs

  • Dislikes a player who insists on perfect play; the game laughs at them
  • A full ten-player game can run past the sweet spot; cap at seven if you can
