Klink

In Klink it's all about scoring as low as possible. Sounds odd, but that's exactly what makes this game so exciting. Whoever wins the most rounds takes the overall victory. And that won't happen without a healthy dose of suspicion at the table. Each turn you take two cards from the deck and may secretly look at one of them. Then you choose: do you keep them yourself, or pass them on to someone else? Whoever receives the cards may also look at one card and decide again. The last player in line has no choice left and has to keep them. That creates a fun game of cat and mouse, because nobody knows exactly what the others are passing on. Does someone have ten cards in front of them? Then the round is over and everyone turns their cards face up. Two identical values cancel each other out, so sometimes a risk pays off. The lowest score wins. The game also includes special event cards that suddenly turn the rules upside down, so no two games play out the same.
