Flush is a shedding card game between 2-6 players where the aim of the game is to release all of your cards, resulting in the rest of the table accruing points. Once a player reaches a set limit of points (30 is recommended), they are removed from the game. The last remaining player wins. Alternatively, the Arena format of Flush plays the game in the same way with no eliminations. Instead, 5 rounds are played with players accruing points as normal. The 5th and final round is double points. The player with the least amount of points at the end of the 5th round is the winner. The game has a good blend of skill with elements of luck. One of the main decisions that players are required to make, is deciding on whether to release Flush cards before another player wins the round. This element of risk is one of the reasons that Flush is very fun to play. Risk it and go for the big win or suffer the consequences of making the wrong decision. Another interesting element of Flush is that larger tournaments can be played similarly to Poker (where players are eliminated until a final table is reached and the last remaining player is declared the winner). —description from the publisher
