8 1/2 is a unique card game where you follow the numbers played on the discard pile - either by matching, going up or playing a zero. If you can't play, you take the pile. The 1/2 card plays an important role with significant risk and reward. This is a fast-paced card game that provides strategy, challenge, unpredictable twists and edge of the seat play right to the end! (Back of the box)
