Cards 101 (one hundred and one)

Cards 101 turns a simple deck into a battlefield of numbers. Each round, you and your opponents take turns laying down cards, each with a specific point value. The objective is not merely to accumulate points but to be the first to strike the precise total of 101. Overshoot, and you're out of the running for that round, while falling short leaves you vulnerable to others making a dash for the finish line. What sets this game apart is the constant mental duel. Every card you hold is a potential risk or reward. Do you play a high-value card to leap ahead, or hold back and let others reveal their strategies first? Observing your opponents' choices and tracking the remaining deck adds a layer of predicting and bluffing. It's a compact card game that demands focus and quick arithmetic, perfect for a quick mental workout.
