About the game

Crisps is a ladder-climbing card game for 2 players. Crisps selects and recombines ingredients from several climbing games to serve up as a light & delicious snack that will leave you craving for more. Players attempt to be the first person to empty their hand of cards. Like many climbing/shedding games, players can play single cards, sets, runs, or runs of pairs. The following player must play same rank or higher to beat the previous meld. After someone passes, players then must draw a card. The trick winner gets to pick a card first either face-up or from a face-down pile and then the trick loser has to draw the other card. There are special combos which can be led, played over other special combo types, or played over the highest ranked single/sets. —description from the designer
