5211 is a press-your-luck card game with deep roots in casual classics. On one level, it’s a kissing cousin to stud poker.Cards are selected by each player in secret and then played out: first 2, then 1, then 1. Then we score. Only cards in the majority color score… as long as the total isn’t pushed too high! If everyone can plays nice, all have the potential to benefit. But, the minute you get too greedy, you’re likely to get bit and another color will score. 5211 has two lives. One as a modern game that can be as thinky as you want it to be. One as a bridge for social interaction, inspired by card nights with family and friends from days gone by. Listen in to discover how a game so simple in design but rich in its strategy and tactics can be a source of joy for all. We think anyone can play and find Major Fun in 5211. 5211 Next Move \| BGG Designer: Tsuyoshi Hashiguchi Publisher: Next Move, Ghenos Artist: Chris Quilliams 2-5 players 20-30 min. ages 8+ MSRP $13 Time to teach/learn: 5 minutes For info on the other segments featured on the show, check out the show notes at The Spiel! * Music credits include: Five Colors by Sam Phillips \| the song Five Colours in Her Hair by McFly \| the song *
