About Super 5
Theme 5 Alive is an abstract card-playing game. Goal Each player starts with 5 lives. The winner is the last player to have any lives left. Gameplay Each player in turn plays a card from their hand. 'Normal' cards have a face value, and the aim is not to play a card that takes the running total above 21. If you do, you lose a life. If you manage to play the last card from your hand without taking the total above 21, then every other player loses a life.
