Why I love ❤️ this game: (1) I love a card game that seamlessly combines chance and skill. This set includes 84 cards - 12 of each 7 symbols. The objective of the game is to be the first to discard your cards by laying down 3 (or 4) cards that each display the same symbol. Each symbol has a different point value, as detailed in the hierarchy table. First, deal 7 cards to each player. Turn over the top-card from the stock (which represents the first discard). Each player now takes turn to discard a card from their hands. A player can discard a card with the same symbol (or a higher-value symbol) than that shown on the top discard. A player can also discard a lower-value card and takes 2 cards from the stock to add to their hands. Alternatively a player can choose not to discard any cards and instead draw an additional card. They can then either immediately discard this new card-risking it being claimed by another player-or add it to their hand. The turn ends when a player hits a “jackpot” with 3 (or 4) remaining cards showing a set of identical symbols.
(2) The game is played over 3 to 5 rounds (with accumulated score). I love the subtle hint of strategy and risk-taking elements; Will you go for the highest value symbol and risk someone else ending the game before you complete your set? Should you finish with 3 cards, or wait and gamble for a higher-scoring set of four? The choice is yours, and the tension is high!
(3) I love the thrilling casino vibe of the design, featuring classic slot machine symbols like bells, cherries, and sevens. It captures that exhilarating feel but reimagined as a kid-friendly card game, bursting with Laboludic’s signature vibrancy and fun!
(4) This game is compact and lightweight, making it a perfect travel companion. The instructions are available in multiple languages-German, French, English, Spanish, and Dutch. With no reading required, it’s truly a universal game that everyone can enjoy.
