The deck has only the numbers 1 through 10, with a different number of each card: 1x1, 2x2, 3x3, and so on, up to 10x10. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the basic game, points are bad, and you score points by getting a pair. So, if you have a 10, there are 9 other cards that could pair it up, and you'll get 10 penalty points if you do. Players take turns deciding whether to take another card, or fold, trying to avoid scoring points. When you fold, you have to take points, but only the smallest card in play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVenture\u003c\/strong\u003e is a bidding game where players are trying \u003cem\u003enot\u003c\/em\u003e to take points. Cards are usually bad unless you collect a full set. Players bid in secret for a pool of cards in the middle, and players may negotiate (and perhaps lie) about which cards they will play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePairs was designed by veteran game inventors James Ernest and Paul Peterson, and released in October 2014.
