51

Description

The improved version of a classic card game. Laughter guaranted! Give every player 3 lives (cards with a heart). In the original version, the text on the backside of the card is not used. Shuffle the cards. Each player gets 3 cards. Put the remaining cards face down in the middle of the table. The player whose age is closest to 51 starts. The first player plays a card and says the amount of points out loud. Then, they grab a new card from the pile. On their turn, the other players each play a card and add their played amount to the total amount of points, and grab a new card from the pile. A total of 51 is allowed. As soon as a player exceeds 51, that player loses the round. They must then throw away a life card. It also means that you will need to act in a certain way from then on (explained on the card) which makes the game hilarious. Then, the game begins anew; the loser is the new dealer and plays first. If a player forgets to pick up a new card from the pile before the next player takes a card, that first player plays with one card less. If a player ends up being unable to play because they don’t have any cards left, they lose the round and a life. The game ends when a player loses a round when having no more life cards.
