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!
