About MEAN!

MEAN! Is a 2-8 person strategy card-game for players aged 8 and up. With simple rules designed for families and adults alike, MEAN! Is easy to pick up and play at any occasion. The objective is familiar: clear your hand before your opponents but with fresh mechanics and fun ways to sabotage, MEAN! quickly becomes a ruthless game to get everyone engaged. Gameplay is driven by "Card Direction", where cards are played either going up or going down in value. You can use strategic special cards to change the direction, force hand swaps or play the eponymous MEAN! card to punish your frenemies and take them down. —description from the publisher
