Up or Down?

Up or Down? is a game where you lock in each column’s direction—up or down—and then push your luck to keep those “elevators” moving for big points. Play cards to build ascending and descending stacks, aiming to extend runs as far as possible without stalling out. Match colors within a column to ramp up your score, because the more cards of the same color you stack, the more those points climb.

In Up or Down?, clever timing and table awareness matter as much as the cards in your hand. From acclaimed designers Wolfgang Kramer and Michael Kiesling, this fast-paced card game for up to 6 players rewards planning, daring plays, and quick turns that keep everyone engaged. Choose the right moment to start a new column, double down on a color, or pivot to block an opponent’s best line—every choice nudges your score higher and shapes the final tally. Up or Down? is available now at Boarding School Games.
