The Number - Board Game Review - Can't Get More Quirky Than This

Description provided by The Broken Meeple on YouTube:

The Number - Board Game Review - Can't Get More Quirky Than This Smarter than you think, easier than you expect! This little Japanese game doesn’t fit into any single category. You don’t realize how rich The Number is while playing. The Number is an expert mix of mechanics: Bluffing, Risk-taking, but also Guessing (a mechanic that involves anticipating your opponent’s next moves and adapting your strategy accordingly). It takes 5 minutes to learn, but you won’t have it all figured out yet! Choose, check and resolve! How to play? A game of The Number plays over 2 rounds of 5 turns each during which everyone plays simultaneously. 1- Choose Each turn, everyone secretly writes a number from 000 to 999 on their boards, then reveals them at the same time. 2- Check Line up the numbers from biggest to smallest (top to bottom) and check if your number is approved (it doesn’t share digits with any of the numbers below it) or eliminated (it has at least one digit in common with any of the numbers below it). 3- Resolve If your number is approved, gain as many points as the first digit of your number. Then, you must cross off the digits you used in your number from your board. You will not be able to use them for the rest of the round. *************************************** SUBSCRIBE ► https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmjyHBcqxxQjrg0KUN944dQ?sub_confirmation=1 KIENDA SPONSOR REFERRAL LINK The Broken Meeple is happy to be sponsored by Kienda.co.uk where you can buy great games at great prices from a warehouse local to where I live!

One single batchelor from the UK talking about his passion for board games and the people who play them! I support small content creators, board game cafes and go against the status quo when it comes to the board game industry. I give my honest opinions without bias towards any publishers or designers and will not hold back if I don't like a game. The Broken Meeple is a variety channel that hosts all kinds of board game content from reviews to Top 10 lists to playthroughs to live stream collaborations with special guests (predominantly small channels who deserve more exposure).
