Description
The rules of "Red" are simple: highest card wins! But "Red" is just one of seven games you'll be playing in Red7, and if you're not winning the current game at the end of your turn, you're out! The last person standing wins the round.
The deck in Red7 is 49 cards: each of the colors of the rainbow numbered 1 to 7. A hand takes just a couple minutes!

- Dice-based action economy — Officers use dice to perform tasks; dice can be allocated to tasks or to personal goals.
- Narrative choice — Crossroads cards present narrative choices; envelopes modify game rules and systems between episodes.
- Narrative crossroads and envelope reveals — Crossroads cards present narrative choices; envelopes modify game rules and systems between episodes.
- Personal goals and promotions — Each player has personal objectives; promotions depend on dice and progress.
