Games collection

Take-that games

24 games in this collection.

Take-that games let players attack, steal from or undo the progress of others, usually through cards. Some groups enjoy having their plans interrupted; others would rather build without being targeted. These games differ in how often attacks happen and how costly they are. A round of play with real players shows the tone at the table and whether a player who gets hit can get back into the game.
