Balloon Challenge

Players help fill the sky with colorful balloons by choosing when to add cards and when to drop out of the round. Each player starts with at least five numbered cards and, on a turn, either plays one card to the table or leaves the round. When all players have dropped out, the played cards determine the balloon’s size, while the cards remaining in each hand determine how much it is inflated. Players score based on this difference, with additional bonus points from fish discs. After five rounds, the player with the highest score wins.
