Overview

What ABG knows about this game

Tails on Fire is an interactive card game in which the ever-changing selection of the best three playing cards for a round leads to a permanent dilemma. At the start of a round, players choose only 3 cards out of up to 10 to use this round. On their turn they can either play a card exactly 1 higher than the last or pass. If your card is still on top of the playing pile when your turn comes around again, then you win the round and take a fire card and sometimes steal some more from others. At the end of the game, the player with the most flames wins!
