About the game

What you do in a play session

Picture yourself in the midnight hours of Owlberta, where brave Knight Owls are on guard duty. But, as you know, five in the morning is nap time, and these heroes are no exception. In *Of What’s Left* you decide who will take a quick snooze and who will stay alert. The goal? Don’t leave your hand empty – but it’s not that simple! When a player finally sheds all their cards (they hit), the others score points based on how many cards they still hold. Fewer cards, more points, so the strategy is clear: try to keep as few as possible without being the first to go empty. The game blends two mechanics that give it a special charm: hand management, where you wisely choose what to play or discard, and ladder climbing, where each move can advance you up the points ladder. The traditional deck adds a classic touch, while the owl theme brings a hint of night‑time mystery and elegance. In 15‑25 minutes, 3‑4 players can enjoy this “almost shedding” dynamic, where the tension between making the next move and keeping a light hand creates pure fun and subtle bluffing strategies. If you love quick games, fast decisions, and a light humorous twist, *Of What’s Left* is a solid pick for your table.
