Smarter than you think, easier than you expect!
This little Japanese game doesn't fit into any category. You don't realize the richness of The Number while playing.
The Number is a clever mix of mechanics: Bluffing, Risk, but also Guessing (a mechanic that involves anticipating your opponent's next moves and adapting your strategy accordingly). It takes 5 minutes to learn, but you still won't have understood everything!
Choose, check and solve!
How to play?
A game of The Number takes place over 2 rounds of 5 rounds each, during which everyone plays simultaneously.
1- Choose
Each turn, everyone secretly writes a number from 000 to 999 on their card and reveals it simultaneously.
2- Control
Line up the numbers from largest to smallest (top to bottom) and check whether your number is approved (has no digits in common with any of the numbers below it) or eliminated (has at least one digit in common with one of the numbers below it).
3- Solve
If your number is approved, you earn as many points as the first digits of your number. At this point, you must erase the digits you used in your number from your card. You will not be able to use them for the rest of the round.
