On two of the piles the cards have to be played in ascending order, on the other two in descending order. On your turn you must play at least two cards and then refill your hand. The game is over if anyone ever has to pass. The gap between two cards can be of any size but any giant leaps in number reduce the possibilities of winning. If only you knew what cards were in everyone else\u2019s hand! You\u2019re all allowed to communicate but it\u2019s forbidden to name actual numbers. Despite this, there are often lively discussions punctuated with emotional outbursts. This is sometimes caused when you experience setbacks but mostly when you manage to work out this simple but engaging form of patience.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Short video<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-container brlbs-cmpnt-content-blocker brlbs-cmpnt-with-individual-styles\" data-borlabs-cookie-content-blocker-id=\"youtube-content-blocker\" data-borlabs-cookie-content=\"PGlmcmFtZSBzcmM9Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LnlvdXR1YmUtbm9jb29raWUuY29tL2VtYmVkL3p0MEMzd3BZZGZBP3JlbD0wIiB3aWR0aD0iMTAwJSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIzNTBweCIgZnJhbWVib3JkZXI9IjAiIGFsbG93ZnVsbHNjcmVlbj0iYWxsb3dmdWxsc2NyZWVuIj48c3BhbiBzdHlsZT0iZGlzcGxheTogaW5saW5lLWJsb2NrOyB3aWR0aDogMHB4OyBvdmVyZmxvdzogaGlkZGVuOyBsaW5lLWhlaWdodDogMDsiIGRhdGEtbWNlLXR5cGU9ImJvb2ttYXJrIiBjbGFzcz0ibWNlX1NFTFJFU19zdGFydCI+77u\/PC9zcGFuPjwvaWZyYW1lPg==\">\n<div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-preset-c brlbs-cmpnt-cb-youtube\">\n<div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-thumbnail\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.spiel-des-jahres.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/borlabs-cookie\/1\/yt_zt0C3wpYdfA_hqdefault.jpg')\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-main\">\n<div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-play-button\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-content\">\n<p class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-description\">You are currently viewing a placeholder content from <strong>YouTube<\/strong>.

With around 100 cards and not many rules, designer Steffen Benndorf creates a tension-filled atmosphere that can\u00b4t be ignored. On the contrary, the pressures of playing the right cards send the players on a rollercoaster of emotions: desperation, irritation, elation and triumphant celebration \u2013 the whole spectrum. Above all it\u00b4s how the players are limited in what they can communicate to each other that makes \u201cThe Game\u201d a challenge that will never get dull. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"_vp_format_video_url":"","_vp_image_focal_point":[],"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-10345","spiele","type-spiele","status-publish","hentry","verlage-nuernberger-spielkarten-verlag-en","spieleranzahl-1-to-5-players","altersangabe-8-years","spieldauer-approx-20-minutes","einstieg-niedrig","erjahr-278","preiskat-nominated-for-spiel-des-jahres-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The Game<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spiel-des-jahres.de\/en\/games\/the-game\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The Game\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The objective of \u201cThe Game\u201d soon becomes clear: players co-operate to correctly discard all the cards which have values of between 2 and 99.
