The Number
The Number is a bluffing and gambling game in which you have to prove more cunning than your opponents… or more daring!
Each turn, all players secretly write a number from 000 to 999 on their tile, then simultaneously reveal them. Writing a bigger number gives you more points, but it’s also a risky bet… since if you share a digit with any of the smaller numbers, you don’t gain any points!
As turns progress, there are fewer possibilities, making each decision more strategic. After 2 rounds, the player with the highest score wins the game.
