About the game
Go/Stop is a quick game that you try to obtain the highest point card (1-10). Everyone start with the set of identical cards (5 go cards and 1 stop card). For every point card flipped from the deck, everyone bids for it simultaneously face down. (Go=you don't want the card. Stop=you want that card) Then goes to the next point card. After 5 turns, the point is resolved. If only one person bid stop. The game is over and we resolve all the other point cards. If none or 2 or more stops, they cancel each other and everyone takes that card back. And keep going until there is only one left. Quick and gives new twist for Raj type game.

Questions and answers
Go/Stop supports 2–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Go/Stop is 10 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Go/Stop for ages 9 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Go/Stop has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
