Pay a chip to pass or take the card. Simple rules, agonizing decisions, 15 minutes flat.
Vibe's take
agonizing, quick, laugh-out-loud, accessible, perfect filler
Who it's for
Literally anyone. The best filler game ever designed for 3-7 players.
Not for you ifโฆ
You want a main course. This is a perfect appetizer, not a meal.
A card flips face-up. You either take it (adding its value to your score, which is bad) or place a chip on it and pass. But chips are limited, and every chip you spend is one you cannot use later. Consecutive cards merge into runs, counting only the lowest value. The nine secretly removed cards mean you can never be sure which runs are possible. Plays in 15 minutes, teaches in 30 seconds, and creates more agonizing decisions per minute than games that take all evening.
