Our testing families gave an enthusiastic thumbs up for this exciting draw and discard game. Players take turns drawing a card and deciding whether or not to exchange it with one of their cards - an easy decision if it replaces a higher face-up card; riskier when it's an unknown face-down card. Our kid-testers loved the thrill of turning over the unknown card to see if they made a good trade.
I like that we can be many players. It is a little stressful when you have to choose a card to exchange and you don't know what number is under the card. sometimes I exchange a 10 points card and the card under is like a 5 or something, that was not a good exchange! Mia (F8)
It is exciting to flip over your card and see if you have made a good decision to trade it. This is a great game that allows kids to practice math without even realizing it. Jo McGillivray, Parent
