What this is
In No Thanks!, players take a card, pay to say no thanks or take what they must to score the least. The deck of cards is numbered from 3 to 35, with each card counting for a number of points equal to its face value. Runs of two or more cards only count as the lowest value in the run - but nine cards are removed from the deck before starting, so be careful looking for connectors.
