Hike (2011)

About this game

In Hike, nature springs surprises and players battle for survival. Each player receives seven cards and plays one on his/her turn. When a player cannot play a card, he/she is eliminated from the hand. The player with the fewest cards leftover wins the hand, and a player can earn a bonus by playing all of his/her cards.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 8.
• Rules load. At 1.4/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 7 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
