Thirteen The Card Game - Let’s Get Playing! Edition

$27.95
Quantity:

A bluffing card game for two to eight players. Every pair, you're closer to winning — or pairing yourself out. Most pairs wins.

Deal seven cards each and pair them to 13. On your turn: lay your pairs, ask another player for a card, and — once per turn — lie. Miss, and you pick up from the pile.

Two scoreboards run in parallel: elimination order and pair count. Bank enough pairs before you're out and the last player standing might still lose.

Four years and more than a thousand rounds at a kitchen table in Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand.

Free shipping nationwide. Dispatched the next business day. This edition is open until 12 November 2026, once closed no reprints.
