About the game
Become the fox at the game table – but watch out for the fifty-point leap! The card game Fifty Fifty is all about tactics, timing, and a dash of schadenfreude! The rules are simple: Place your cards in ascending order in the center of the table — but whoever plays a card that falls between the last and second-to-last card in the sequence collects the last card as a penalty. It gets even worse if no one can play as then penalty cards must be taken from the end of the row — and if a fifty-point leap is made, the entire row of cards might be taken as a penalty! The twist: Whoever passes at the right moment can escape the chaos and put their opponents in a tough spot. Be the clever fox at the table and have the last laugh while your opponents struggle with penalty cards! —description from the publisher
