What is yellow and goes up and down in an elevator? A bana.. Nope, it is card from Up or Down!

As a matter of fact, it could also be green, pink, purple, blue or red... Your objective here is not to make your opponent laugh, even though that should score you some points, but it is to build ascending and descending rows of cards, trying to place as many cards of the same color in a row as possible.

You can have up to three rows in your display. When you place a second card in a row, you must decide whether the cards in that row will be placed in ascending order or descending, and you stack the cards accordingly. You can also discard some cards.

For each row, multiply the number of cards in that row by the number of cards in the most common color in that row. For each card in your discard pile, score 1 point. Whoever has the most points wins. Are you terrible at math? Don't worry, BGA will count for you.

So, what’s green and goes up and down an elevator? It’s a card from Up or Down, you got it! It is strategic! It is fun! It even has a tutorial. Do not hesitate to give this a go: https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=upordown

A huge thanks to Michael Kiesling and Wolfgang Kramer, game designers, as well as the crew from Capstone Games to allow us to add this gem to our platform. A gem needs a jeweler to shine, so thank you to MGoulet who developed Up or Down for BGA.

This game is a part of the WINTER OF GAMES 2025 calendar and we are wondering which one was your favorite so far: let us know in the comments.

This was your Wednesday release,

More to come on Friday, until then, take care and play fair…
