The Game: Extreme (2016)

About this game

The Game: Extreme features cooperative gameplay similar to The Game, with all players working together to discard all of the cards in the deck onto four discard piles. What's new in The Game: Extreme are 28 instructions on the cards themselves that affect the rules of the game while they're in play, increasing the difficulty of completing the game — or rather, The Game.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 5. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 1.3/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
