About this game

7 Ate 9 throws out turns entirely and lets everyone play at once, which is exactly why it is over before you know it. Every card shows a number alongside a small plus-or-minus equation, and your job is to slap down a card from your hand that solves whoever is showing on top of the discard pile, as fast as your hands and brain can manage. There are no polite waits here; if you spot the answer, you play it, and the piles shrink in a blur while everyone scrambles for the same tiny window. First to empty their hand wins, and the whole round rarely lasts longer than it takes to explain it.
