About this game

dnup looks like a simple shedding game until you notice every card carries two numbers and only the top one counts. Since you may never flip cards freely, your whole hand becomes a puzzle of commitments: play sets, sneak cards onto other players' piles, or spend a precious turn revolving everything at once. Overplay someone and they are forced to take their cards back, freshly reversed. Twenty minutes of grinning meanness, the kind of filler that gets slapped back on the table three times in a row.
