Description
In the co-operative card game Level 10 — which was first released as Okey Dokey — players work together to try to complete the challenge. In Okey Dokey, you are putting on a music festival with different performers and must play out all fifty cards in order to complete the performance.
In Level 10, you try to help Izzy play through all ten levels in each of five different video game worlds; each world is represented by a row of cards on the table. Players will play cards one by one to this 5x10 grid — 40 level cards and 10 reset cards — to (hopefully) complete the game. Players' hands are kept secret from one another and only slight suggestions can be made.
If a player cannot play a card on their turn, the players (and Izzy) lose.

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)

Comparison games
none
Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Card placement on a grid — Players place cards into a 5x10 grid subject to world-consistency, value-order, and column completion rules.
- Cooperative Communication — Players secretly hold cards but can share three pieces of information and suggest actions.
- Grid completion and scoring — Win by filling the 5x10 grid; scoring includes cards on grid plus bonuses for unplayed pause cards.
- Pause and reset cards — Pause cards determine difficulty and can be saved; each column must include one reset card which resets a row.
- Score-and-Reset — Pause cards determine difficulty and can be saved; each column must include one reset card which resets a row.
- Two-action turns — On each turn a player can add a card and draw, or place a reset card.
- World matching and wilds — Cards must match the same world in a row; pause cards act as any world and copy the next value.
