01-006 Go Low

01-006
Go Low

Go Low is developed by a small game publisher, University Games. After purchasing the Mattel value pack of 8 card games, as well as a pack of Skip-Bo, I started searching for card games not produced by those big bosses. Then I found it on Amazon.

Like Lowdown, Go Low belongs to the golf family. And it is a much simplified version of Lowdown. Design is very simple. Although cards come in different colours, just like Skip-Bo, they all belong to one single suit. And there is no wild cards or face cards, only number cards. It is a fast game and easy to learn, very suitable for small kids.


Go Low

The box is exactly the same size as that of the UNO. It nicely fits alongside with other Mattel card games. But with a total of 75 cards in the deck, an UNO size box is a bit too big for it. In Lowdown, Mattel put a cardboard in between to make the deck less loose. In Go Low, there is no such cardboard. Because the deck is not thick enough, the box can easily get wrinkles. And from the matching colour they use on the card background, you can find that this publisher has less experience in game publishing. But apart from these, it is a good game. Price is also cheap. I highly recommend it.
