Description

How Savvy are you?

Starting with a random card between 1 and 36, players have to decide whether the next card drawn will be higher or lower to accumulate points... but this is no game of luck!

Each time you choose correctly, you accumulate a point in the 'holding area', and have the chance to choose higher or lower again from the new number, and get another point each time you guess correctly. BUT... guess incorrectly and lose all the points from that turn! The only way to keep your points is to elect to stop, at which point the next player continues from the current number.

Extra care is needed on the first guess of each of your turns too! You can elect to guess and start earning more points, but get your first guess wrong and you will lose half of all the points you have in your 'bank'!!! Or, if its too risky, pass straight away to the next player, but this will cost you one point from your bank. If you've nothing in your bank, you must call!

Players on low points at the start of their turn, get another go if they get their first call wrong.

Counters mark which cards have already been drawn on a simple mat, so while this is a brilliant game of risk for anyone to play, it's also perfect for developing numerical and probability skills with children of all ages!

For 2-6 players, aged 8 and upwards, and a playing time of 10-40 minutes. The longer time scale relates to six players, the banter, and the liquid refreshment at hand.
