5 Alive

Get ready for a fast-paced card game full of twists and turns! In 5 Alive, the goal is simple: be the last player with lives remaining. Everyone starts with five chances, and each round, you play a card trying not to exceed the 21 limit on the running total. If you go over 21, you lose a life. But beware: if you're clever and manage to play the last card from your hand without exceeding the limit, it's the other players who suffer, losing a life!

Besides the numbered cards, the deck includes special cards that add extra spice to the game. There are cards that reset the counter, others that skip the next player's turn, one that reverses the direction of play, and even some that make opponents draw more cards. It's an abstract game, so don't expect a deep story, but rather pure strategic fun with a touch of luck. Perfect for those who enjoy games with hand management and a bit of player elimination, without getting too complicated. With games lasting around 30 minutes and playable by 2 to 6 players, 5 Alive is a great choice to liven up any gathering, whether with family or friends. The rules are easy to grasp, but the competition to avoid being the first to run out of lives is fierce!
