About this game

Be the first to get rid of your cards in this climbing game with shifting ranks! The game is in the vein of Dai Fugō (**Millionaire**) and involves playing cards from your hands in singles, doubles, triples, quads, or 3-card runs. There are no suits, and ranks can shift by clever manipulation of a "conveyor belt" queue of cards. Whichever rank is in the rightmost position of the conveyor belt is the highest rank, and the ordering of the remaining ranks shifts according to a circular ranking.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.8/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
