Nominated for the 2015 Spiel Des Jahres (Game of the Year) The Game is a co-operative card game for 1-5 players. In The Game, you’ll have to work together with your friends to play cards into one of four different piles, with the hopes of discarding all 98 cards. The trick is, you aren’t allowed to tell anyone else what cards you have, so you’ll constantly be on edge as each card played could upset your best-laid plans.
