About the game
Description from the publisher: No Game Over is an easy game for 2 to 6 players, inspired by the world of video games (there are 144 different cards, all of which have references to video games). You´ll have fun and quick matches (15-30 minutes). It´s really easy to learn how to play, and it´s easy to start to annoy your opponents (the main aim of the game). On your go, you start a Level. You can get a curse, or a fight with an enemy. You can use your strength (equipment and lives) and the cards in your hand to win the fight. The other players will try to make you lose. If you win, you get a life and the prizes of the enemies you defeated. If you lose your fight, you lose a life. You can win in two ways: You survive and the other players die You get the maximum number of lives (6) and you defeat a Final Boss. Did you die? Don´t worry, you are not going to be bored watching the others play. You become a ghost who keeps annoying the other players!
