Amigo Take 5

With just two rules for how to play your cards these strategy card games are easy to learn, but packed with action, surprises, and plenty of chances to wreak havoc on your fellow players.

Secretly pick a card from your hand, then play it on one of four rows.

Here are the two rules: Your card must be higher than the last card in a row, and it has to be played next to the last card that’s closest in number. If you play the sixth card in a row, you take that row . . . and all the points in it. That’s when the game earns its name, as you're forced to "take five" cards.

Take a Number is a stand-alone game with advanced rules that builds on the basic edition to create an extreme “Take” experience: the number of cards in each row varies, you'll get the chance to create your own row, and you can add cards back into your hand. Take 5 is the same as the German game 6 Nimmt! and Take a Number is the same as X Nimmt.
