Featured Game - Five Three Five

Featured games are our way of teaching new games and highlighting something we think our players may enjoy or take note of. We'll explain from scratch how to play the game with a detailed description and demonstrate a few turns, then break into tables to actually play it. Each week it'll be something new, but will run the spectrum of different lengths, complexities, themes, and game mechanics. So if this week's game doesn't interest you, feel free to look again next time around!

Five Three Five is a card shedding/ladder game. Similar to trick taking games but the goal, the only goal is to get rid of your cards. Some cards are worth less points and some cards are worth more. The larger pointed cards have greater power making it an intriguing game to play. Shortest game was 7 min and longest game was 65 min. Come join us this Thursday where we learn and play five three five.

If this is your first time with this group, you should see a link to our Discord group once you've signed up for this event. You may join any time before the event begins to get to know people, but once this event starts, we'll typically join the Lobby voice chat, then move to another voice chat once we've gotten started. Note that I, as the game teacher, will share my screen to show how the game works, but all other interaction will be voice only, no video, so no need to look presentable first. The game itself will be played using Board Game Arena - please create an account on this site beforehand.
