Take 5: 30th Anniversary Edition

This anniversary edition collects the standard multiplayer card game for 2–10 players plus several alternative rule sets and a cooperative variant. Players simultaneously choose a number card and reveal them, then place cards into four rows following simple ascending-order placement rules; when a row reaches six cards, the player who placed the sixth card takes the other cards in that row as penalty points. The box also includes variant cards that change row behavior (even/odd restrictions, a row that runs descending, a “jumping” marker that moves when rows fill, and a one-time digit-reversing spinner play) and a cooperative mode where players face a buffalo deck and use action cards to manipulate rows to minimize collective penalty points.
