About the Game

Down is based off a traditional ladder game played in Korea. You play by following a set of lines from the top of the cards to the bottom, making turns as needed. In Down, the player must try to collect gold coins and avoid red hexagons. Players have a limited number of stars that they can use to control the course they take...they are great for squeezing out those extra coins, but use them too much and you are left at the cards' mercy.

This game uses 9 cards, and can be played with the cards being held in one hand, so you can play it while standing on the train after work, waiting in a queue for a rollercoaster, or even when taking a well-needed 'parent break' (hiding from children in the bathroom).
