5 Alive*

Players start with 5 lives, and the winner is the last player with lives remaining. On their turn, players play a card from their hand. Normal cards have a value, and the goal is to avoid exceeding a total of 21. If a player does exceed this total, they lose a life. Successfully playing the last card without going over 21 causes all other players to lose a life. There are also special "Wild Cards" that can reset the total, skip the next player, reverse the turn order, or allow other players to draw additional cards.
