No Thanks!
Take it or leave it? That’s all there is to it—yet every decision makes you sweat.
What's Included
33 numbered cards (3–35) and 55 plastic chips.
Skills Developed
This game enhances strategic thinking, risk assessment, probability calculation, and decision-making skills, as players must weigh when to take cards and when to pass.
How to Play
Players take turns deciding whether to take the face-up card or pay a chip to pass it to the next player. The goal is to collect the lowest total score, with consecutive cards counting only as the lowest number in the set. Once a player runs out of chips, they must take cards, making resource management key. The player with the lowest total score wins.
