This is actually one of my guilty pleasures. Typically we will pull out No Thanks at the end of the night when we want to play one more game but don't have the time or energy to get into anything to deep.

No Thanks is a push your luck game. At the start of the game everyone is given 11 chips. There are cards numbered from 3-35(may be off by a number of two). You shuffle the cards and deal out 24 cards. The remaining cards are set aside. The goal of the game is to end up with the least amount of points at the end of the game. When it is your turn you can choose to take the face up card or pay a chip and say No Thanks to the card. This continues until someone caves and can't take it any longer and takes the card and the pile of chips or you run out of chips and are forced to take the card and the chips.

If during the course of play you are able to connect cards you only score the points if the lowest card in the run. So for instance if you have the 12, 13, 15, and 17 you would have have 57 points, but if you are able to get the 14 and 16 you would drop down to 12. Since 9 cards are removed from the game you have no way of knowing what cards are no longer in the game.

This is the ultimate filler game. It comes in a nice small box that makes it perfect for taking on the road and you don't even need a table to play this game.
