2 Player Game

Especially on 2 player games, don't be afraid to quit, even if you have quite a few points in your hand. If your opponent is stuck and keeps drawing, you can often catch them with more points in their hand than you have.

When to play

If given a choice of playing a card of equal value or +1:

• play the +1 early in a game;
• play the equal value late in a game.

Early in a game, the likelihood of someone being able to advance the count is higher; if you played the equal card early in the game, you'll likely get stuck with the +1 because the count will rise faster and move past that card's value.

Late in the game, the likelihood of advancing the count is lower; you are more likely able to play the equal card and then play the +1 on your next turn.

The only exception is the llama card; always play that with every opportunity over playing a 1.
