About this board game
TEN is a push-your-luck and auction game for 1–5 players, with play lasting about 30 minutes. Players draw cards one at a time, trying to add as many as possible without exceeding a total value of ten.
Every draw brings a choice: continue pushing your luck or stop before you bust. Players can also use currency to buy additional cards, giving them another way to build their collections and pursue longer sequences.
The central objective is to create the longest number sequence in each color. As cards emerge from the deck, players must weigh the value of drawing again against the danger of exceeding ten. Careful decisions can help extend a sequence, while an unlucky draw can end a push.
Wildcards add another layer of competition. When valuable wildcards appear, players compete in auctions to obtain them and use them to fill gaps in their sequences. These moments combine bidding with the ongoing challenge of managing risk and currency.
- Push your luck: Draw cards one at a time while trying not to exceed a total value of ten.
- Build sequences: Aim for the longest number sequence in each color.
- Manage currency: Use currency to buy additional cards.
- Bid for wildcards: Compete in auctions to acquire valuable cards that fill sequence gaps.
Designed for the whole family, TEN blends suspenseful draws, currency management, and auctions in a compact card game experience. Whether you stop safely or keep drawing for a stronger result, each turn asks how far you are willing to push.
