Players in The Game try to discard all 98 cards in the deck onto four discard piles in order to win; but they need to do so in the right ways.
Each player starts with 6-8 cards in their hand depending on the number of players; and four discard pile prompt cards are on the table: two showing 1 and an up arrow and two showing 100 and a down arrow. On a turn; a player must discard at least two cards from their hand onto one or more discard piles; with cards on the 1 piles being placed in ascending order and cards on the 100 piles being placed in descending order. One tricky aspect of the game is that you can play a card exactly 10 higher/lower than the top card of a discard pile even when you would normally have to play in a descending/ascending order; e.g.; if a 100 discard pile is topped with an 87; you can play any card lower than 87 or you can play the 97.
After a player finishes their turn; they refill their hand from the deck. During play; players cannot reveal exact numbers in their hands; but they can warn others not to play on certain discard piles or otherwise make play suggestions.
Once the deck is emptied; players are required only to play at least one card on a turn. If you play all 98 cards; you win! If you get good; the rules suggest that you play at least three cards a turn to increase the challenge.
