## Description
Ever felt that sudden spike of tension at a game night when everyone is watching your every move? That is exactly what Double Down brings to the table! Originally released as Lobo 77, this card game is a masterclass in 'imple but stressful' fun. The premise is straightforward: players take turns playing cards to add to or subtract from a running total. But here is the catch—you are walking a mathematical tightrope.

You must avoid making the total a multiple of 11 or pushing it past the magic number of 77. If you mess up, you lose chips. It is a game of calculated risks and quick mental math, where the goal is simply to be the last person standing with chips in hand. It is fast, it is cutthroat, and it is incredibly easy to pick up.

Because the mechanics are so streamlined, it serves as the perfect 'filler' game. Whether you are waiting for a group to arrive or looking for a quick palate cleanser between heavy strategy sessions, Double Down delivers. There is no complex board to set up or massive rulebook to study; just grab the cards, distribute the chips, and prepare to watch your friends stumble into mathematical traps. It is a game of survival, luck, and just a little bit of sabotage, making it a fantastic choice for casual gatherings where you want high engagement without a high learning curve.

Great for ages 8+ as long as they can handle basic addition and subtraction!

Very quick! Expect sessions to last between 15 to 30 minutes.

Zero setup. Just deal the chips and start playing.

Yes, but it is much more chaotic and fun with a larger group!
