Good card games can be so simple: either take a card or pay a chip. Anyone can make that decision, right? However, what if nobody wants the cards because they give you points in a game where you need to have the fewest points to win. And the chips? They are scarce, very scarce. No Thanks! is a card game designed to be as simple as it is engaging.

Note: This is now re-implemented by the 2019 Amigo Edition that supports up to 7 players.

No Thanks! is a card game designed to be as simple as it is engaging.

The rules are simple. Each turn, players have two options:
1. Play one of their chips to avoid picking up the current face-up card, or
2. Pick up the face-up card (along with any chips that have already been played on that card) and turn over the next card.

However, the choices aren't so easy as players compete to have the lowest score at the end of the game. The deck of cards is numbered from 1 to 35, with each card counting for a number of points equal to it's face value. Runs of two or more cards only count as the lowest value in the run - but nine cards are removed from the deck before starting, so be careful looking for connectors. Each chip is worth -1 point, but they can be even more valuable by allowing you to avoid drawing that unwanted card.

The simple "press your luck" aspect of when to play a chip and when to accept a card (and all chips that were already played to avoid it) is the basis of the game.

This game was originally called "Geschenkt", meaning Given as a Gift.
