at number three I have clink now this is a party adjacent card game that if I had to describe it I would say is a hybrid between games like cockroach poker mixed with Cabo now this is certainly a contender for surprise of the Year for me because I wasn't sure what to expect with it um but it was tremendous fun so um very simple mechanically all you're going to do is you are going to draw two cards face down you can choose to look at one of those cards and then decide whether you want to keep them for yourself as scoring or pass them on to another player now the objective is to score as few points as possible but there are kind of twists on what you can do because if you end up ever getting two of the same number then those cards are going to cancel each other out and worth be worth nothing so sometimes collecting a high number isn't bad as long as you can get a duplicate and of course eliminate those scorings and additionally if you get a run of three cards you could activate a special p which could completely mess with the other players or of course kind of help your situation um this is a game that where I kind of went in cold it was like I was teaching this to four other players and I could just see that they weren't terribly interested but by the end of it we all having a tremendous time and I was highly impressed with how easy this was to explain and relay but also how much fun is in that little box so again this could have gone one of two ways because I really dislike games like
cockroach poker I think it's a terrible Design This one is just a complete I don't know reworking of that kind of idea but it adds a bit more game to it and there are some wrinkles because sometimes taking cards for yourself is even if it's not necessarily the best you know the best bunch of cards it can be great because you are in the power seat for the next round and you can decide whether to keep the next cards rather than being at the mercy of the other players because of course once has gone around all the players and everybody's passed on those cards then the last player is going to be forced to keep those cards and as these scores start to become more and more apparent and people can see who's winning and who's losing uh you can start to kind of conspire with each other and force that player winning who's winning to take those last cards which again could be bad or could be good for them so yeah this one um definitely going to be a forever keeper for me because there's always going to be a that kind of party situation where you've got kind of Gamers on the periphery of the hobby who've played some games but not not loads um this one's going to satisfy kind of Muggles but also you know more experienced Gamers like myself because there is again there are layers here but it is still built on that Foundation of silliness and approacha leness as well and even it does have a little bit of a kind of a spicy vibe to this one because it is you know it's a little bit uh mean at times it doesn't ever feel malicious and it's just again just a real Ruckus fun time so that is clink at number
three
