UNDERCUT

A MIND GAME—OR, FOR REAL EXPERTS, A MINDLESS ONE

Undercut is the perfect game for a family road trip. All you need are your hands, your wits, and an opponent you enjoy infuriating.

Then, after I undercut her three times in a row, she fixed me with a glare and extracted a promise that we’d never, ever play again. Anyway, with this game now banned in my household, I offer it as a gift to yours.
