​
Goal of the Game
The aim is simple:
Draw as many cards as possible while keeping your blood glucose between 4 and 10 (In other series: 7-180 US Edition, 19-25 BMI, 17-23 Brain/MindFight).
If you drop below or rise above, you Bust.
​
What’s in the Box
Inside you’ll find:
24 Balance or Bust cards.
2 sets of Score tracker cards.
That’s all you need to start playing and learning.
​

Players: 1–6
Ages: 8+
Play time: 10–20 minutes.

​
Setup
Shuffle all 24 non tracker cards into a single deck.
Each player starts each round with a blood glucose of 7 (In other series:130 US Edition, 22 BMI, 20 Brain).
Keep something nearby to record scores.
​
Round Start
On your turn, ask for one card at a time from the dealer.
Adjust your blood glucose tracker by the number shown.
+1, +2, +3 raise your level.
-1, -2, -3 lower it.
​
Special Cards
Some cards show 0.
These balance cards have no effect.
They give you breathing space and a chance to keep going without risking too much change.
​
Push Your Luck
You may stop drawing at any time to lock in your score.
But be careful — if you go below 4 or above 10, you Bust!
​
Scoring
If you stop safely, your score equals the number of cards drawn that round.
If you Bust, you score zero.
Keep a running total across several rounds.
​
Winning the Game
After three or five rounds, add up everyone’s scores.
The player with the highest total is the winner.
​
Tips for Play
Balance caution with courage.
Stopping too early might mean missing points, but pushing too far risks Busting.
On average, players score around six cards per round.
​
Advanced Challenge
If one player draws all 24 cards in a single round without Busting, they win the game instantly!
It’s rare — but possible.
