About the game
From the publisher's description: Who can snap up the best cards more quickly than the other players? One player turns over the cards (good and bad!) and each player has three chances to take up the cards which have been laid out. Clever timing and quick action are important to get the most points. Take it! - Keep cool, but not for too long! This is a reworked version of Her Damit/It's Mine!, with a slightly different card assortment and no "jackpot" cards.

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 Take It! is 15 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
