Vibe's take
Tense, quick, agonizing, addictive
Who it's for
Couples and two-player pairs who want a quick, portable game with real tension. Endlessly replayable filler between heavier games.
Not for you if…
Not for groups larger than 2. Skip if you dislike card luck or want deep strategic control.

About this game
Reiner Knizia's classic two-player card game of risk and reward. Players fund expeditions to distant lands by playing numbered cards in ascending order, but every expedition you start costs points unless you push deep enough to turn a profit.
