No Merci

Also known as Geschenkt, its German title, and No Thanks (in the USA), this is such a simple game that I am constantly surprised by just how fiendish it is to play.

All you have to do is decide whether to accept the card on offer (and its penalty points) or pay a chip to pass it on. But you only have a limited number of chips and collecting a sequence of cards means you only get the penalties from the lowest card. That's it. Now try and win the game!

No Merci is a challenging little game that is huge fun to play.

For 3-5 players, playing time 20 mins: £6.50
