About the Game

Each round 2 cards are pitted against each other and the players must choose: This/That. The card with the most votes "wins" and anyone that didn't vote for it got it "wrong" and takes a strike.

In round 2 the stakes are raised. All of the winning cards from the previous round return to be pitted against each other. This time you take 2 strike for a "wrong" answer.

Rounds continue ramping up until a single winning card is selected and the player with the fewest strikes wins the game!

LEGACY: In each game the top 4 cards are set aside in a special tuckbox labeled "THESE." Whenever you have enough cards in there from previous games you're able to play a game with the creme de la creme - the very best of the best.
