FTW?! is a fast climbing card game about getting rid of cards without throwing away their scoring value. After passing three cards, players either top the common pile with a higher number, place a lower number face up in front of themselves, or use one of those parked cards to reset the pile. A round stops as soon as anyone reaches one card. Your highest remaining card scores positively while every additional card subtracts, creating a clever tension between racing out and preserving a strong final number across as many rounds as there are players.
