No Thanks!

Pay a chip to pass, or eat the card. That is the entire game, and it is great.

What it is

Flip a card. Pay a chip to pass, or take the card and every chip sitting on it. Cards are points against you, a run of numbers only counts its lowest card, and the lowest total wins. The deck suits lunch breaks and waiting rooms.

What we love

  • Teaches in one minute with a single decision per turn
  • Runs make a card you refused for ages suddenly look wonderful
  • Scales to seven players with almost no extra time

Honest trade-offs

  • Not much depth after the first few plays; this is a filler, and we say so
  • The components are plain, and chips are the only thing that makes it feel like a game
  • Three players is the thinnest count, since fewer people mean fewer clever traps

AI summary of player sentiment

Across the tables we polled, players consistently praise the game's approachability and pacing. The most common complaint is not much depth after the first few plays; this is a filler, and we say so.
