Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Card Play — On your turn, you can play a card or a combination of cards. And then the next person has to go higher or pass.
- Climbing Game — It's a climbing genre game, a ladder climbing game where you're basically trying to get rid of all the cards in your hand.
- Shedding game — There's a lot of trick taking and games like this one called uh shedding games where you're trying to shed all your cards out of your hand.
- Splitting — The splitting mechanism is pretty fun. Having a seven for some reason split into a one and two... I play a single four, now you play two twos.

Quotes (from this video)
- It's a very simple game, but the idea if I play a single four, now you play two twos. I'm like, well, I have two threes. And I you have two fours. Well, guess what? I have four twos. That sort of thing is fun. It's simple and easy.
- The coloring is my biggest problem with the game. I don't love that coloring means nothing except when splitting something, and most of the time it doesn't matter. It's just that once in a while, you'll go, "Oh, I can't split that because it's a four red and I have a red two and a green two."
