No Respect: Rodney Dangerfield's Game (1985)

About this game

From the box: Here's just the game for you Dangerfield fans--a combination of strategy, suspense, and total frustration to challenge even the most self-respecting player! Stay alive by playing number tiles on your own columns--or on your opponents'--to stop them. If you're the first to reach the top, or the last to play a number, you win, and everybody else is a loser! The odds can quickly stack up against you in this fast-paced game of ups and downs. You could be one number away from a win, lose a column, and suddenly find yourself behind! So plan each move carefully, keep a sharp eye on your opponents, and don't count on winning 'til you've won!"

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 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.
