Falling

Falling: 2014 Edition: Essentials: No. of players: 4-8 Playing time: 2 minutes Age: 12+ Falling: 2014 Edition: - Rules of Play says: Re-implementation of Falling with some rule tweaks, some different cards, and a different card distribution. The theme, general gameplay, etc., are the same as original Falling. "Everyone is falling. And fighting. The object of the game is to hit the ground last. It's not much of a goal, but it's all you could think of on the way down." "One player deals the cards, while the other players fall. There are no turns; everyone is playing at once. Players can play cards on each other, or on themselves. These cards are called "riders," and they change how the dealer will deal. A "Hit" means "Give me two cards." A "Skip" means "Don't give me anything." And so on. Those Skips come in really handy at the end of the deck, when the dealer starts handing out the Ground cards. Catch a Ground card, and you're dead." Falling is a real-time game, it takes as long to play as it takes to deal a deck of cards at a leisurely pace. You could literally play in less than a minute.
