The Game: Face to Face brings similar gameplay to The Game with players placing cards down from their hand in ascending and descending piles, however now the game is limited to two players who are competing to rid themselves of their cards first. You want to win on your own, but to move forward, you must inevitably assist your opponent...

On a turn, you’ll play at least two cards from your hand of six. However, twist comes from where you can play them. Obviously your own ascending and descending piles are fair game and follow the normal rules of The Game. But now once per turn, you can place a card on one of your opponent’s piles, breaking all the rules. Yes, this helps them out, as it pushes whatever pile you played on away from its upper limit.
