Description
Players in The Game try to discard all 98 cards in the deck onto four discard piles in order to win, but they need to do so in the right ways.
Each player starts with 6-8 cards in their hand depending on the number of players, and four discard pile prompt cards are on the table: two showing "1" and an up arrow and two showing "100" and a down arrow. On a turn, a player must discard at least two cards from their hand onto one or more discard piles, with cards on the 1 piles being placed in ascending order and cards on the 100 piles being placed in descending order. One tricky aspect of the game is that you can play a card exactly 10 higher/lower than the top card of a discard pile even when you would normally have to play in a descending/ascending order, e.g., if a 100 discard pile is topped with an 87, you can play any card lower than 87 or you can play the 97.
After a player finishes their turn, they refill their hand from the deck. During play, players cannot reveal exact numbers in their hands, but they can warn others not to play on certain discard piles or otherwise make play suggestions.
Once the deck is emptied, players are required only to play at least one card on a turn. If you play all 98 cards, you win! If you get good, the rules suggest that you play at least three cards a turn to increase the challenge.

Jeu sympathique, simple et rapide. De temps en temps ou comme filler c'est parfait, mais je ne jouerais surement pas intensivement toute une après-midi. Les jeux coopératifs avec communication limitée n'est peut-être pas pour tout le monde mais à vous de voir à quel point vous voulez parler. |

À offrir en cadeau | |
J'ai prêté ce jeu à des amis. Ils ont adoré. J'ai décidé de leur donner le jeu (au lieu d'une bouteille de vin pour une invitation à souper). Ils étaient tellement content ! Je pense que c'est une bonne idée de donner des jeux à des amis, à de la famille. |

A classic in cooperative games | |
For the price, if you don't already have this game I recommend it. It's really fun to have to comparatively try to play all our cards without being able to share our numbers and take risks. Two stacks go from 1 to 100 and two stacks go from 100 to 1. The mechanics of being able to move up or down the number in a pile by playing a card with a spread of 10 is what often saves the day. It's simple, quick to explain and play and everyone likes it. Personally, I prefer the colorful version because the aesthetics are more beautiful. |

Un bon filler | |
Bon petit jeu coopératif. On a aimé mais n'est pas devenu un must de nos soirées. Par contre, facile à amener en voyage à cause de son format. |

Un incontournable | |
Un jeu très intéressant et très facile à maîtriser. Idéal pour y jouer en famille et lors des déplacements. Les cartes sont très bien illustrées, ce qui rend le jeu encore plus agréable. |

The Game | |
Un jeu aux règles simples et épurées. Rapide à expliquer, jouable en solo ou coopératif. 98 cartes numérotés de 2 à 99 à placer en 4 piles. Deux piles croissantes et deux piles décroissantes. On peut revenir en arrière en jouant une carte dont la valeur est strictement inférieure ou supérieur de 10. Bref, ça donne envie d'y rejouer lorsque l'on ne bat pas le jeu. |

A la fois simple et difficile | |
Ce jeu est simple d'apprentissage mais difficile à gagner. Un excellent défi de groupe en coopératif. Les cartes sont de bonnes qualités et devraient bien résister aux usages prolongés. Les dessins et images sont jolies mais il faut parfois regarder à deux fois pour s'assurer qu'un 68 n'est pas un 89. |
