Addicting, easy to learn, fun to play again and again.
Instant hit. Took it on a family trip and the kids requested to play over and over, every day of the trip! Highly recommended.

What people are saying
Super fun!
Took it camping and it was a huge hit. Very easy to learn and understand, while still being strategic and exciting. Highly recommend for family game nights or trips!
Kayleigh Atkinson
Love this game!
My family and I have played it so many times already. It's easy to learn, quick to set up, and keeps everyone engaged. Highly recommend for family game nights!
Yuliya
My family and I had a blast playing it over the holidays.
I even bought several copies to give as gifts. I highly recommend Payback as a fun addition to your family game collection.

Honestly one of the best card games I've ever played!
So easy to learn and so fun. My family played it for hours. I'm buying more for gifts!

Great game for families!
Easy to learn, quick to play, and everyone has fun. It's a perfect mix of strategy and luck, with just enough chaos to keep things exciting.

Inside the game
Hand-drawn in MS Paint
58 cards and a sleek magnetic box - all designed by Karel in MS Paint. (Yes, the app from Windows 98)
Numbers
Cards go from 1 to 10, but be careful 4 is tricky. It forces the next player to play 4 or under.
Special Cards
Use these to get out of trouble. Pass your turn, skip the next player or burn the pile to play again!
Magnetic Box
Sleek magnetic box that fits as well in your pocket as on your shelf on display! Not your usual flimsy box.

If Uno had a meaner, smarter, better-looking cousin, it would be Payback. Quick to start, fun comeback mechanics, and absurdly addictive!
short games 10 min games
Learn in 2 minutes
1. Deal the cards
Each player gets 9 cards: 3 face-down, 3 face-up, and 3 in hand. Play from hand to face-up, to blind cards to win!
2. Match or surpass
On your turn, play a card equal to or higher than the top of the pile, or take the whole pile into your hand. Special cards can be played anytime.
3. Get rid of everything
Empty your hand first, then play your face-up table cards, then your face-down cards, blind. First player out wins. Last one standing, loses.
reading is boring
Zero brain needed
The game is easy, but winning is not. Once, you reach your face up cards, everybody can see them and will try to sabotage you. And once you think that's over, you'll have to play your last 3 cards blindly. Good luck!

Payback strikes gold in a crowded genre where it's normally very hard to stand out. A simple game with very enjoyable MS Paint artwork, well-designed mechanics, and a wide amount of appeal that will make it a hit with nearly all groups/ages. This sets a new standard for simple single-deck card games, and gets my absolute highest level of recommendation – a full 10/10.
who is payback for
Built for families... and tipsy friends
From kids to grandparents. We've seen 6-year-olds teach it to 70-year-olds. The game is as home around the dinner table as on the beach or in the pub.

I usually don't play card games, but when my daughter brought this game for Christmas. We played for hours! It was so nice reconnecting with her... Until I lost and we stopped talking again. jk.
