## Description
Double or Nothing is that quick, adrenaline-fueled game perfect for gathering your friends! From 3 to 6 players can dive into this adventure where the big question is: how far are you willing to push your luck to rack up points? Each round, participants take turns either scoring points or flipping over new cards, always aiming to boost their tally. But beware! Flipping the wrong card can instantly knock you out of the round, turning ambition into frustration. 

The tension builds when only one player remains in the round. They are then forced to face the infamous 'Double or Nothing' dilemma – which could mean a mountain of points or, surprisingly, absolutely nothing! This mechanic adds an extra layer of excitement and risk, ensuring no one gets too comfortable. The game continues at this electrifying pace until the seventh bonus card is revealed, marking the end of the game. Whoever has the highest score at that moment claims victory. It's a true test of nerves and intuition, where every decision can be the turning point between glory and failure!
