Allie Gator (2022)

About this game

In Allie Gator players take turns placing number cards in ever-narrowing ranges. Instead of playing a number card a playing holding a special card may play it to change the direction of play, or manipulate the card display, but all special cards count against the player. A player unable to play must take a stack of played cards, which also count against them. At the end of each round players with the fewest negative points score alligator teeth, and when someone has three alligator teeth they win the game.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 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.
