📖 About This Game

Going Up? An Elevator Card Game is a casual party game combining elements of games like "99" and "Uno" in which players takes turns playing a card from their hand to move the "Elevator" a set number of floors, based on the value of the card. If a player can’t play a card without moving the elevator below the 1st floor or above the 99th, they’re out. The last player standing wins! To make things more interesting, there are special cards scattered throughout the deck that can shake things up, buying you a breather or putting the pressure on your friends. Will you hoard these cards to protect yourself, or will you risk everything to catch your opponents off-guard? Play your cards right, and victory will be yours! Players take turns strategically playing cards from their hands in an attempt to keep the "Elevator" between floors 1 and 99. The Elevator starts on floor 1 going up. Each numbered card that's played adds its numbered value to the Elevator. However, players can also flip the Elevator's direction to going down, at which point numbered cards subtract their value from the Elevator.
