2 sans 3

Hold back or hurry forward? In 2 sans 3 (3's a Crowd!), no player escapes this question as they decide which cards to play when.

To set up, place the start cards in the middle of the table, then deal a deck of twenty cards to each player. Each player draws a hand of eight cards from their deck.

On your turn, play one number card from your hand into the display on the table. Each card you play has a certain place in the numerical sequence. If you add the fifth card to a row, you must take one to three cards from the display (depending on the position of the card you played), and place them in front of you, sorted by color. If you have one or two cards in a color at the end of the game, those earn you positive points; however, if you had to take a third card of that color, they earn you negative points instead. Both during and at the end of the game, you can earn bonus points for having cards in many different colors. The game ends when each player has played a total of eighteen cards. The player with the most points wins.
