    Very simple game that can get quite competitive depending on the personalities of your group.

    Gentle reminder to the group especially if you know that they are super competitive, that it is only a game to have fun with.

    A couple of practice rounds is also recommended for the start to avoid any confusion.

    Great filler game. I like the variants available and that is also cool how it transfers to the virtual world. Will have to give the virtual version a go.
