Pure thrills and adrenaline!

There is a “5 +/- 2” in the middle of the table. Quickly add two and discard a “7” or subtract two and get rid of a “3”. The decisive factor is what you have in your hand to be faster than the other players. The player who has no more cards wins.

Simple rules – boredom + lots of fun = Under Tension

This is how you play Unter Spannung:

• All cards are shuffled and dealt evenly to the players
• The last card is placed face up in the middle of the table. It forms the beginning of the discard pile
• Everyone places their cards face down in front of them as a pile and draws four cards into their hand
• All players play simultaneously and try to get rid of their cards on the discard pile
• In order to place the next card appropriately on the discard pile, the players must either add up or subtract from each other the card value in the corners and its +/- number in the middle
• Since there is no order, the fastest player may discard a matching card
• New cards can be drawn individually from one’s own pile into one’s hand at any time
• The first player to run out of cards wins

Success factors:

• Great combination of speed and mental arithmetic
• Easy to understand game with short rules
• Addiction factor guaranteed!
