5 Easy to Learn and Play Posted by Eric Kohen on Aug 28th 2020

This is a fantastic push your luck game that I think works well for players of any age or level of player from beginner board gamer to hardcore fan.



It's really simple: Use an assortment of chips in your bag to see how far you can go each turn. The further you go, the more new helpful chips you can add to the bag for future turns, as well as victory points. However, push that luck too far and pull too many wrong chips from your bag and you get a minor setback compared to those that didn't.



What's great is that the aforementioned setback is really minor. It won't ruin your game or cause runaway leads.



The game, yes, is a slightly solo affair, but the fun is someone at the table announcing, "I'm going for it!" and everyone holding their breath to see if the next chip pulled will be a hit or miss.



This is not a game for folks looking for something long, complex, or that's anything that's not luck-based.



Clank! is a similar game I'd say is slightly more complicated than this, if you're looking for comparison. I'd consider Azul to be a similar experience for light rules but great game for players of all experience levels.



Overall, this is a game I can see coming out to the table because it's *not* a heavier more complicated game, but there's just enough here to hold experienced gamers, too.
