No Thanks! (game)

No Thanks! is a card game for three to five players designed by Thorsten Gimmler. Originally called Geschenkt! (presented (as a gift) in German) and published by Amigo Spiele in 2004, it was translated into English by Z-Man Games.^[1][2]

There are playing cards numbered 3 to 35 in the game, and nine cards are removed from the deck. Each player receives 11 chips. The first player flips over the top card and either takes it (earning him negative points according to the value) or passes on the card by paying a chip. If a player takes a card, they flip over the next card and decide if they want it.

At the end of the game, numbers signify negative points, but numbers in a row only count as negative points for the lowest number (e.g. A run of 30, 29, 28, 27 is only worth -27 points.) Chips are one plus points. Players with the most points win the game.

No Thanks! was nominated in 2005 for the German Spiel des Jahres (Game of the Year) award.^[1]
