Twentyish

Twenty, or close enough.

Twentyish is a head-to-head card game. Get closer to 20 than your opponent without going over, using a Side Deck you build yourself. Every turn deals you another card, so knowing when to hold is everything.

How a game goes

Four steps, first to three Sets wins.

  1. Main Deck Draw

    Your turn starts with a draw from the shared Main Deck. Values are between 1 and 10, so you may quickly go over.

  2. Play from your Hand

    Your Side Deck gives you more options to get to 20 without going over. Play one card per turn.

  3. Hold, or risk going over

    If your score goes over 20, you lose the Set. Holding stops the Main Deck from pushing you over.

  4. Showdown

    Closest to 20 without going over takes the Set. First to three Sets wins the game.

Your Side Deck

Ten cards to bend the rules.

Build your Side Deck to match your preferred play style.

  • Plus and Minus

    Common cards to help you manage your score, your way.

  • Switch

    Plus or minus the same value. You pick which when you play it.

  • Combo

    Two different values on one card, like +3 or -2. You pick which when you play it.

  • Double

    Doubles the last card's value. A big swing, whichever way it goes.

  • Flip

    Flips the sign of every 2 and 4 on the table, including your opponent's.

  • Tiebreaker

    Adds 1 to your total, and wins the Set if you end up tied.
