THE MIND

THE RULES Players look at their cards but keep them secret from the other players. All players place their hand into the center of the table and everyone removes them when they are ready. Without communicating, players play their cards face up in the middle of the table. Each card played must be a higher value than the previous card. If a player is holding a card that is lower than the current face-up card, play stops. The team loses one life. Then play resumes.
