The best push-your-luck board, card & games 🍀 2021
Are you risk-ready and looking for a good party game? Then we have just the thing: The 30 best push your luck games 2021 🍀.
What is Push your luck?
Push your Luck games are games in which you test your luck by pushing it more and more - you "play poker". Players usually have to decide whether to settle for existing winnings or risk it all for more rewards. In German, it is best described as "pushing your luck".
Push Your Luck as a game mechanic
"Push your luck" or "press your luck" games are games where a game repeatedly asks you a question or task and you can keep answering or completing the task endlessly (or very often). So you can continue with this action and win more and more points. Note, however, that the stakes increase each time, as does the tension, because one misstep.... and everything is gone. It's a kind of double or nothing game.
Probability calculation
The player must keep track of his odds (what he can roll, what's left in the deck, etc.) and make decisions based on this incomplete knowledge or probabilities. Similarly, in a game like blackjack, you can keep telling the dealer to give you another card. If you don't stop, you will go over 21 and lose.
So don't push your luck too far in these "push your luck" games!
