1000

About this game

A classic card game, in which three players try to earn 1000 points over a series of rounds. There are 24 cards used: 9, 10, J, Q, K and Ace from all four colours of cards. When the cards are dealt, three of them are set aside, and the person who will bid the highest gets them and has to give one of his cards to each of the other players. The bid is how much that player will try to accumulate this round. If he fails to do that, he will lose that many points.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 6 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
