Four coloured rows sit in the middle of the table and everyone holds eight cards they want gone. You place a card next to a matching row, ideally close in value, because a big gap invites the others to shout and dump the numbers in between on you. Those thrown cards force you to draw penalties.

Who it's for

Groups of four to six who like card games with needling and interruptions, and who count cards a little without taking it too seriously.

Not for you if…

It needs at least three people and really wants five or six, so it is dead as a two-player option. Getting a hand full of mid-range numbers can also mean you feed everyone else all round.

Vibe's take

Quiet calculation broken by sudden shouting, since your safe-looking card is someone else's opening. Turns are short and everyone watches every play, because the next call-out might be theirs.
