In Take a Number, you may end up drawing five cards, but mastering just two simple rules will help you score the fewest points. Start by secretly selecting a card from your hand, then place it into one of four rows. Here are the two key rules: The card you play must be higher than the last card in the row, and it must be placed next to the card with the closest value. If you end up playing the sixth card in any row, you claim that row—and all the points it contains. This is where the game gets its name: you’ll be forced to take five cards, each one adding more points to your total. Take a Number is a standalone game with advanced rules, building on the basic version to deliver an intense and strategic “Take” experience.
