About the game
PUSH is a quick push-your-luck card game where players build stacks of colored, numbered cards without repeating a color or number, deciding each turn whether to bank points or risk pushing for more. Rolling dice and drafting cards add extra tension, since a single unlucky flip can wipe out a growing stack. Games wrap up in about 25 minutes, making it an easy, tense filler for groups of two to six.
Hobbli's Notes
We enjoy PUSH for its simplicity: the rules take only a minute to explain, but the tension of deciding whether to stop or push further never gets old. It's the kind of game that works well as a warm-up or cool-down for a longer game night. The dice-and-card combination keeps luck front and center, which some strategy-focused players may find too light.
What we like
- Fast 25-minute playtime suits any game night.
- Simple push-your-luck rules are easy to teach.
- Scales well for two to six players.
- Compact cards make it travel-friendly.
Keep in mind
- Outcomes rely heavily on luck.
- Limited strategic depth for experienced gamers.
- Repetitive gameplay over multiple sessions.
Who it's for
Great for casual and family groups aged 8 and up looking for a fast, tense filler for two to six players.
