A number-laying hoarding game where a single special tile can flip an entire row upside down.
Who it's for
Fans of tight, tactical number games who enjoy hand management and the occasional rug-pull from a well-timed special tile.
Not for you if…
You dislike games where a single special tile can undo your careful planning — Restart leans into sudden reversals as a core part of its tension.
Vibe's take
Tense and reactive — you're constantly weighing whether to unload tiles now or hold back for a better moment, and the special tiles create sudden swings that keep everyone leaning forward.
Restart is a tense number-sequencing game where hoarding tiles behind your screen is just as important as playing them. Every player secretly holds a hand of numbered tiles and adds them to shared color rows, always higher than the last number played, while special Scissors, Trash Bin, RESTART, and END tiles let you disrupt rows and reroute the whole game's momentum. Get rid of all your tiles first, or end the round with the fewest points, to win.
