Take 5 & Take a Number Card Game

About this product

Two clever number card games in one box — simple to learn, tricky to master.

A classic AMIGO card game combo for families, game nights, and larger groups of up to 10 players.

Play your cards carefully, avoid the penalty points, and try not to take the row nobody wants.

Product Description

Take 5 & Take a Number brings two smart, fast-playing card games together in one box: Take 5 and Take a Number.

In Take 5, players choose cards at the same time and place them into numbered rows. The goal sounds simple: avoid taking cards with penalty points. But once the rows start filling up, every choice becomes a little gamble. Play too safely and someone may block you. Play too boldly and you may be forced to take a painful row.

Take a Number adds a fresh twist with personal rows and extra pressure. You still need to manage ascending numbers carefully, but now the cards you take can come back to haunt you if you cannot place them wisely.

Quick turns, simple rules, and plenty of “oh no!” moments make this a brilliant choice for families, casual players, and anyone who enjoys light strategy with a cheeky bite.
