How to play

  1. There are 3–8 lines, and one bottom slot holds a 💣 (everyone can see where).
  2. Pick a starting line within 12 seconds. With 8 or fewer players it’s one per line; with more, lines can be shared.
  3. Once everyone has picked, the rungs are revealed and each chosen path is drawn in its own color.
  4. Anyone who lands on 💣 loses. If nobody does, whoever lands closest to it loses.

Great for

  • A classic everyone understands
  • Large groups

Tips

  • The rungs stay on the server while you pick, so there’s no way to peek.
  • In big groups, everyone who shared the losing line loses together.

Points and the unluckiest player

  • The last-place player in each game gets 3 unlucky points. With 4 or more players, second-to-last gets 2 and third-to-last gets 1.
  • The final game counts double, so a comeback is always possible.
  • After the last game, whoever has the most points is crowned "Today’s unluckiest". Ties are settled with a sudden-death Card Flip.
  • The host can tap "One more round" to start again with the same group right away.
