Five Alive: Card Game is a fast-paced, family-friendly card game that reimagines the classic “21” as a survival duel. Designed for 2–6 players aged 8 and up, it delivers quick rounds, strategic decisions, and unpredictable twists that keep everyone engaged.
Features
- Player count & age: ideal for 2–6 players aged 8+, perfect for family game night or casual gatherings.
- Core objective: stay under 21 across your turns and outlast opponents through smart risk-taking.
- Card types: a deck of numbered cards with unique values plus Wild Cards that change the game with specific instructions.
- Elimination mechanic: if you exceed 21, you flip an Alive card; after five cards are flipped, you’re out of the round.
- Game pace & length: quick rounds that are easy to pick up and replayable for multiple sessions.
- Play variants: Sudden Death for a faster rush and a cooperative mode for team play.
- Portability: compact dimensions (20.6 x 22.9 x 4.4 cm) make it easy to bring on trips or to friends’ houses.
Benefits
Five Alive turns math- and strategy-thinking into social fun. Players weigh risk versus reward with each card drawn, deciding when to press their luck or play safely as the pressure builds. Wild Cards introduce dramatic swing moments—knockouts, reversals, and last-minute saves—keeping the outcome uncertain until the final card is flipped. The game’s approachable rules support quick onboarding for newcomers while offering deeper decision points for seasoned players. Whether you’re planning a family game night, a road trip, or a classroom warm-up, Five Alive delivers fast, engaging entertainment without long setup. Ideal for car rides, gatherings with friends, and anytime you want lively, compact gameplay that travels well.
