	Description Edit \| History

He who laughs last, laughs best. The board of this roll and move game is made of cards with number values from -10 to +8. The last piece to leave each card (each player has several pieces) must take the card. In the end, the player with most points (or least negative points) wins the game. The game has very few rules and lots of luck.
