Why It's On The List
  • A tableau-building push-your-luck game with some "you scratch my back, I'll scratch your back" added in to increase the fun... and the current version available in the U.S. has all the expansions along with the base game in a single box.
Tips & Tricks:
    • You need to properly assess what your opponents are getting from the number of cards you flip (or don't flip) on your turn. Alternately, you can vocalize what you see happening to warn less savvy players. 
    • Buying something just because you can afford it is not always a good idea... patience is a virtue and no gamer hath enough of it.
    Extras
    • This is the second of three designs by Alexander Pfister on my top 100 list.
