Read the full game description
Blind Business is a brisk negotiation and set-collection game built around a hand you cannot see. After looking once, players turn their cards outward so every rival knows more about their options than they do. On each turn, the active player requests a visible card and the opponent may refuse, counteroffer, or complete a trade, sending cards into scoring rows. District majorities and combinations reward clever collection, while five consecutive numbers in one color produce an immediate victory. Every exchange therefore mixes deduction, bluffing, memory, and deal-making.
