Einer geht noch! (2020)

About this game

Einer geht noch! (a.k.a. Cruise or Lose) is a family card game that lets players send their animals aboard boats that will not capsize as long as their very strict weight limits are adhered to. You draw three animal cards per round. You play these into boats: twice face up and one time face down. Each boat holds only three animals, though. After all of them have boarded, some animals can cause others to switch boats. Any boat with passengers that, in total, are too heavy for it will sink. Animals aboard boats that don't sink are worth VPs. If you have the most VPs after four rounds, you win.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
