Got Five!

Each player receives a screen, a game board, a stand, and an erasable marker. Players set up their screen with their game board behind it, ensuring the arrow on the board points to their right. The stand is placed in front of the screen, with its arrow also pointing right. Players then draw one tile of each of the five colors from the face-down supply without looking at the numbers. These five tiles are placed on their stand, facing their opponents, so that the numbers are visible to everyone else but not to the player themselves. The tiles are arranged in ascending order from left to right, with the lowest value near the negative symbol and the highest near the positive symbol. Finally, one tile of each color is flipped face-up near the supply, and all players use their markers to cross out any numbers on their personal game boards that match the numbers on these visible tiles or their opponents' tiles. The youngest player goes first.

The objective of Got Five! is to be the first player to correctly deduce and announce the values of all five tiles on your personal stand. Since you cannot see your own tiles, you must use the information gained from revealed tiles and clues to figure out their numbers.

A player's turn consists of two main actions. First, the current player flips any one face-down tile from the supply face-up, announces its number aloud, and adds it to the existing face-up tiles near the supply. All players, including the current one, then cross this newly revealed number off their personal game boards. Second, the current player chooses any one of the six face-up tiles (the five initially revealed plus the one just revealed) to ask for a clue. There are two types of clues: 'categorize' or 'compare'. For a 'categorize' clue, an opponent places the chosen tile on the current player's stand in the correct ascending order relative to their hidden tiles, without revealing the hidden tile values. This indicates whether the hidden tiles are greater or lesser than the chosen tile. For a 'compare' clue, the current player stacks the chosen tile on top of one of their hidden tiles. An opponent then states whether the two stacked tiles have the same number of dots (1, 2, or 3 dots). The chosen tile is then placed face-up behind the current player's stand, next to the tile it was compared to, either straight up (dots matched) or sideways (dots didn't match).

There is no traditional scoring in Got Five!. The game is a race to be the first to correctly identify your hidden tiles. Therefore, the first player to successfully make a correct guess is declared the winner.

The game ends immediately when a player believes they have identified all five values on their stand. They shout 'Got Five!' and, without looking at their tiles, announce the numbers in ascending order. If all five numbers are correct, that player wins. If any number is incorrect, that player is eliminated from the game. If only one player remains in the game (because all others have been eliminated), that player automatically wins.
