NUMBERS 01

The first title in NUMBERS, a series of compact, colorful small games you can play in 15 minutes. We created NUMBERS so that players can enjoy the game system itself. Each title is numbered — 01, 02, 03 — and each features a different mechanic.

In NUMBERS 01, you score points by choosing cards and combining them. Points depend on how many cards of each color have been played in total, so deciding which cards to pick, and which colors and symbols to collect, is a tough call. Because the colors everyone plays can turn your score positive or negative, the moments when players get in each other’s way are where the game really comes alive.
