Divers Weights (2008)

Divers Weights is a "silent auction" style game that uses the Decktet in which players speculate on "scrums" in order to try and win the most points. Each hand, players are dealt 5 cards, one for each Scrum. A scrum is then started by turning over face-up cards to the center of the table, one fewer than the number of players. Players then pick a card to play into the scrum, revealing all at once. If players play cards that sum above the Scrum value of the cards on the table, then the low card will win the trick. If players play below the scrum value, then the high card will win the trick. Thus, players must carefully wager their odds, considering both the cards in their hand as well as the cards their opponents might play, in order to try and win the most scrums over the course of the hand. —user summary
