Read the full game description

A hilarious, fast-paced card game reinforcing double digit addition skills. The cards consist of various money cards and a few thief and jail cards. The goal is for players to collect the most money. The game starts with players making piles of two cards that add up to $100. Once these starting piles have been made, the stealing can begin. You can steal a pile by putting a money card on top of the pile but the total of the top two cards must always equal $100. Slide the stolen pile to your side of the table. Piles can be stolen over and over again. A Thief card can steal a money pile. A Jail card can steal a pile with a Thief card. The player with the most money when the cards run out wins.
