Turn the Tide
Players are dealt a hand of 12 from a deck of 1-60 (the remainder go back in the box for the whole game), and then lay out marker cards that show the other players the strength of their hand. Another scoring deck of 24 has values of 1-12; two cards from this deck are laid face up.
What is Turn the Tide
Players are dealt a hand of 12 from a deck of 1-60 (the remainder go back in the box for the whole game), and then lay out marker cards that show the other players the strength of their hand. Another scoring deck of 24 has values of 1-12; two cards from this deck are laid face up.
Players choose one card from their hand in secret and reveal them simultaneously. The highest value played takes the lowest scoring card, which goes face-up to a pile in front of you. The second highest takes the other card likewise. Remaining cards are discounted. Then look at everyone's face-up deck: the highest scoring player turns one of his or her marker cards over! (The original game had cockatoos becoming cuckoos; this edition is themed on lifesavers). At the end of a round, players score according to their markers cards that they managed to save (cockatoos or life-savers).
There is a further twist! Players then pick up all their playing hand, and pass it clockwise. So as each round commences, you are using the cards previously used by your neighbor! Are you smarter? Can you make a better fist of the same hand your neighbor had? Play out rounds until all players have had each hand. Top score wins.

3 a 5 jugadores
Filler familiar que se juega en tantas rondas como número de jugadores. Los jugadores pujan por dos cartas de forma simultánea usando las cartas únicas y numeradas de su mano. Cada jugador dispone de 5 salvavidas, que son los puntos. El que gana la puja se lleva el salvavidas mayor y el segundo el menor, luego es mejor llevarse el segundo puesto. Después de cada puja, el jugador que tenga la carta de mayor valor, pierde un salvavidas. En cada ronda, hay un draft de la mano del jugador, para mitigar el efecto suerte. Es una vuelta de tuerca a los juegos de pujas. Está entretenido, se explica r

Bastante entretenido. Te hace tirarte de los pelos porque todas las cartas de tiempo que tienes te parecen una mala eleccion para cada turno. Mientras te quejas el de tu izquierda te anima diciendo: 2pues en la siguiente ronda cuando juegues con mis cartas vas a flipar de lo malas que son" ;) Recomendable para 3. Para 4 o 5 se hace demasiado largo para la chicha que tiene. Entretenido pero para jugarlo muy de vez en cuando.
Gran filler.

Ún gran filler que creo que está infravalorado. Está muy bien compensado, sencillo pero con miga. Muy divertido.
