This game is a improved variation on the classic adding game
of One Hundred.
There's a central pile of cards with a value that starts at zero.
Each player, on their turn, plays a card, adds its value to the
pile value, announces the pile value, and draws a replacement card.
If you make the pile value a multiple of ten, you grab the
cute cartoony Zeus figurine that comes with the game. When the
pile value goes above 100, whomever has the Zeus figurine wins.
(If it hits 100 exactly, whomever makes it hit 100 wins.)
If that were it, it would still be a reasonable game, albeit a bit
boring, so the inventors have spiced it up by adding multiple "god"
cards that do interesting things to the pile value, and by allowing
players to steal the turn by playing an identical number card to
whatever card is on top.
I already thought that the original game of One Hundred was a pretty
entertaining game, and this version adds enough to give it its own
distinctive style while not damaging the fun of it... in fact, it
probably even increases the fun, which is rarer still. Deep strategy
thinkers probably aren't going to find anything here, but it makes
for a nice light game. I was also
impressed by the small subtleties (such as indices on the cards) that
inexperienced game makers tend to forget, another plus.
