Description:
This little Japanese game doesn’t fit into any single category. You don’t realize how rich The Number is while playing.
The Number is an expert mix of mechanics: Bluffing, Risk-taking, 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 won’t have it all figured out yet!
Each turn, all players secretly write a number from 000 to 999 on their tile, then simultaneously reveal them. Writing a bigger number gives you more points, but it’s also a risky bet... since if you share a digit with any of the smaller numbers, you don’t gain any points!
As turns progress, there are fewer possibilities, making each decision more strategic. After 2 rounds, the player with the highest score wins the game.
