Never Miss Everything Board Game posts again! Get them in your inbox:

Players compete to be the first to replace, reveal, and rearrange a set grid of 10 x face-down starting cards until they are in the correct order from 1 to 10. But it is not so straight forward as the game introduces unique power cards, which allow you to manipulate the order of other player’s grids (or your own) and take advantage of the numbers to win.

Review:

Overview:

My 17 Year old Daughter’s take: 

It was a fun game to play. Easy enough for all to enjoy.

My 45 Year old take: 

It was a pretty fun game even though I’ll admit that I lost more games than I won, more on that later. What made it an even better game for me is I already had kind of a good idea on how to play based on the GAMEPLAY VIDEO shown below and the fact that my daughter read the rules and taught me how to play, WIN-WIN!

My 45 Year old take: 

It’s an easy enough game to play. While I’d love to be able to say it’s easy to play and hard to master, that simply isn’t the case as it’s pretty much a luck based game. Everyone is dealt 10 cards in order to set up a 5X2 grid. Make sure you keep these cards all face down (In other words, keep the One To Ten logo and name face up, and don’t peek unless otherwise directed.).

After the first game, I did a quick gaze over the rules sheet and found #5 of 7 in the IMPORTANT RULES quite helpful. “When dealing the starting cards, it is important to hand them out to each player one by one to avoid giving players cards that are already in order due to the previous game.

I’d echo what my daughter said about the special rules cards:

Mainly I believe this could be done by using player in singular form. (But having played it I can now see what was meant)

Wild Cards, easy enough.

Swap & Steal swap and steal any card. They might want to add any one card.

SWITCH allows players to switch any 2 cards. I lost a game due to this rule as my daughter went off switching any 2 cards. I can see what she was going for there, but I changed it to be switch “any 2 cards” instead of any 2 cards (up to 10) lol.

DRAW +2 due to the use of “PLAYERS” we initially thought all players Draw 2 cards. But changed that after a game or two to be only the player drawing at the time.

PEEK and FLIP This rule is easy enough but it might get you like it did me even after a game or 2. You’re allowed to peek at all of anyone’s facedown cards within the same grid and after looking at them you may flip one card over. I kept thinking and flipping the first card over regardless (my bad).

RECYCLE ♻️ It does what it says it does can use a card from the discard pile. However we were unsure if this also applied to the POWER cards as well. So we (or at least I did) kept trading this card up for a DRAW 2 card.

I always have issues with some cards in games even though I don’t think i’m technically color blind or anything. It was ofttimes hard for me to distinguish between the SWITCH & the PEEK and FLIP cards.

Theme and Mechanics:

I agree it is a Fun & easy for game designed for family play. I’d say the fun of this game increases with more players. 3 or more in my opinion.
