## Description
Get ready for a frantic and strategic traffic race with Out Baaaan!, a card game that challenges you to find the perfect gap. Here, the goal is to fit your numbered cars into a line of vehicles forming on the table, but it's not as simple as it sounds! Each player starts with a hand of cards, and each round, everyone secretly chooses one card to play. The reveal is simultaneous, and the order of placement in the line varies: a gear marker indicates whether cards are added from highest to lowest or vice-versa, adding a layer of unpredictability and tactics. The trick? You score by playing a card into a gap, earning points for the run of adjacent cars. The longer the sequence you manage to 'stick' to, the more points you get! There are three intense rounds of quick decisions and subtle bluffs, and in the end, whoever has the highest score is crowned the king (or queen) of the traffic jam. If you enjoy card games with a racing twist and lots of interaction, Out Baaaan! promises to be a fun and unpredictable experience.
