Description
TEN is an exciting push-your-luck and auction game for the whole family! Players draw cards one-at-a-time, trying to add as many as they can without exceeding a total value of TEN, or they bust!
Players may push their luck to draw more cards and use currency to buy additional cards in their attempt to build the longest number sequence in each color. When valuable wildcards emerge from the deck, players compete in auctions to obtain them in order to fill gaps in their sequences

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Auction / Bidding — When a wild card is revealed, an auction occurs where players bid currency to claim the card.
- currency management — Currency chips are earned and spent; currency can go to other players if you take cards.
- market purchase — Players can stop to collect cards or buy from a market using currency to add to their tableau.
- push-your-luck / bust risk — On a turn players flip cards, accumulating total; bust at 11 or higher ends the turn.
- scoring by runs — End of game scoring is based on the length of continuous color runs; longest runs score more.
- set collection — Players collect numeral cards to build runs of consecutive numbers.
- wilds / color variety — Wilds and colored numbers adjust runs and bids, adding strategic depth.
