## What is I'll Pass!?

A quick, addictive push-your-luck card game played with chips.

Play a PASS chip, or take the card... and every chip sitting on it. Fewest points at the end wins. You start with just 11 chips, so choose wisely: take the risk, or say "I'll Pass!"

Don't know the rules? Mr. Pass will teach you as you go.

Solo play against a cast of bot opponents, each with their own personality and strategy, is always free (supported by either a short ad after each game, or a one-time in-app purchase).

### 5/5 — Great game, Wonderful new look!

*2026-09-12*

I’ve been playing this game for years, and have always enjoyed playing it with friends and family. The new look of the game fits really well and I love the new Game Center option, meaning that I can play with family who aren’t nearby. I also think that the new computer players are a massive upgrade, no more using one strategy to win. 

I’m loving the new revision that this game has gotten, it has brought new life to this game that I already loved playing.

### 5/5 — If you like No Thanks you’ll love this.

### 5/5 — Fun, quick, calculating game!

*2015-08-10*

A round doesn't take long to play, it's fun and challenging, and the AI opponents are good enough to keep you on your toes. Fun game!
