The idea here is simple: in each round, you'll try to get rid of your cards by playing them cleverly, aiming to finish the round with just ONE card left in your hand, and ideally, it's one of the highest ones. Sounds easy, right? But be careful, because you might not always manage to get rid of all the cards you'd like, and your friends might end the round with fewer cards than you. When someone finally manages to be left with only one card, the magic happens: whoever achieved this scores points for the highest remaining card, but gets a penalty for every extra card still in their hand. That's where strategy comes into play! The rules are incredibly quick to learn, perfect for those who want to play something dynamic without wasting time on manuals. However, behind this simplicity, FTW?! hides a layer of tactical decisions that will make you think about every move. It's the kind of game where you say "just one more round!" without even realizing it. Ideal for warming up your game night or for those moments when time is short, but the desire to play is strong. With its light weight and quick games, FTW?! is a great choice for those who enjoy a mental challenge disguised as casual fun. ## FAQ ### What is the average playtime for FTW?!
