The Game Extreme

card-shedding on orders

 

Row marker cards are on display, marking two rows for placement in ascending orders and two rows for placement in descending order; all players as a team try to place as many cards as possible in those rows, gaps in card values are allowed. In your turn, you must place two cards and may place all your cards, in any order into any of the rows. When you can place a card that is higher by a value of ten than the card placed last, in a descending row, or by ten lower than the last card, in an ascending row, you may, so to say, play “backwards”. Communication about placing cards is allowed, but without naming numbers. If you were able to place all cards, your team has defeated the game! Any result with fewer than ten left-over cards is wonderful.

In the variant The Game Extreme you play as in The Game, with the same set of basic rules, however, 28 cards are added in this version, there are four cards each if seven types of commands. When a card with a command is played, the commands must be followed exactly or the game is lost. Communication on commands allowed. Flash orders relate to the active player: A stop card ends the turn instantly, a skull must be covered in the same turn and for 3! you must play exactly three cards. Infinite orders are effective while they are visible: They forbid communication or the backwards trick or you must play all cards on a stack or you can only draw one card.

Surprising, tricky, not really foreseeable – a small box full of great gaming fun, some say devilish fun. Be that as it may, it is a felicitous card fun with exactly the right pinch of nastiness.
