All players form a team and take on a total of 12 levels. Each player receives a number card equal to their current level and must place them in the center of the table so that all cards are in ascending order. There is no set order for players, and anyone can lay down their cards at any time they wish. However, cards cannot be shown or discussed with each other, and cards cannot be shared secretly.

[1]. Supplies











100 number cards (from 1 to 100)












12 level cards (1 - 12)















5 life cards
















3 shuriken cards


[2]. Game Preparation

1. Game Preparation: Take the number of life cards and shuriken cards determined by the number of team members and place them in the center of the table. 
2. Place the remaining life cards and shuriken cards back in the box. 
3. Afterwards, stack the number of level cards determined by the number of team members in order with the lowest number on top and place them in the center of the table. 
4.Return unused level cards to the box.

If there are 2 team members, level cards 1 - 12, 2 life cards, and 1 shuriken card.
If there are 3 team members, level cards 1 - 10, 3 life cards, and 1 shuriken card.
If there are 4 team members, prepare level cards 1 - 8, 4 life cards, and 1 shuriken card.

Shuffle the 100 number cards and deal one to each player. The card you receive cannot be shown to others. Place the remaining number cards face down in the corners of the table.

[3]. Game Start

concentration stage

Players who are ready to tackle the current level place one hand on the table. When all players are ready, they simultaneously release their raised hands and begin the challenge. Everyone's undivided focus is critical to success in the challenge. Players can replay the Focus phase at any time. During the game, anyone can say "Let's refocus", everyone puts one hand on the table - refocuses - takes off the table, and starts the challenge again!

Players must place all cards in their hand in ascending order in the middle of the table. That is, the lowest number should be placed first, and the next lowest number should be placed second. Additionally, cards can always be placed one at a time. For example, if a player has 36 and 37, it is impossible to play both cards at the same time. He must put down 36 first, then 37.

There is no set order for players. Anyone who thinks the card in their hand is currently the lowest number can play it. At this time, players must not show or reveal their cards to anyone else in any way. Additionally, you cannot discuss who will lay down a card first, and you must not give secret signals. If you place all the cards in the correct order, you succeed in the challenge. Get ready to take on the next level.


Next level challenge

Put the level card that you just challenged back in the box. The new card is the level you're going to challenge this time. Including all the cards you just used, you're going to shuffle 100 number cards again and hand out to each player as many as the number of levels you're going to challenge this time. Players hold their cards in one hand and place the rest of their hands on the table to announce that they're ready to start the challenge. Similarly, everyone starts the challenge by pulling their hands off the table at the same time. Once again, you'll have to place all your cards in ascending order at the center of the table.

The game continues in the same way, and each time you challenge a new level, you mix 100 number cards well and hand them out to each player, one more than the previous level. When you release a card, you must put the lowest card on your hand. For example, if you have 21, 56, or 93 in your hand, you must put 21 first.


Rewards (Level 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9)

If players succeed in the Level 2 challenge, they will receive a single Repair Sword Card as a reward. Bring 1 Repair Sword Card in the corner of the table to the middle of the table. There are also rewards at Level 3, 5, 6, 8, and 9, and what rewards you receive is indicated on the Level Card. (Rewards are always 1 Life Card or 1 Repair Sword Card.) However, you can have up to 5 Life Cards and up to 3 Repair Sword Cards.


When you put the card in the wrong place

If anyone has a higher number of cards on the table than their own, the person immediately tells this and stops the game. Players who have a lower number than the card they just placed will lose one life card because they misplaced it, and throw them all away. Players focus once again and continue the challenge as it is. In other words, you don't have to start the challenge all over again.


Using a repair sword

Anyone can suggest using a repair sword card with one hand raised during the game. If all players have agreed, throw away 1 repair sword card and each pick the lowest card from their hands and throw it to the front. After that, you go through the concentration phase and continue with the challenge.


[4]. Game Over


If you succeed in challenges at all levels, players win the game. However, if the last life card is thrown away during the game, players lose the game.



[5]. New challenge

If players have succeeded in challenges at all levels, they can immediately take on a new challenge in blind mode. Players take the remaining Life and Repair Sword cards and try again from Level 1. This time, however, they put the cards down so that the back side is visible when they are putting them down. Once players have put all the cards down, flip the pile in the middle of the table and check the order of the cards. If someone puts them down wrong, each time they throw away one Life Card. All the other rules are the same.
