About the game
Hey everyone! Ready for a challenge that will test your mental agility and reflexes? In 2 Pommes 3 Copains, the mission is simple, but the execution... ah, that's the fun part! The game revolves around quickly identifying the total number of apples and loaves currently in play each round. Sounds easy, right? But just wait until the 'Pomme de pin' (the famous pinecone/two-loaves card) shows up to mess everything up!

Each turn, a player flips a card and must announce the total number of apples and loaves visible. Made a mistake or took too long to answer? Too bad for you! You collect all the cards on the table as a penalty. And the goal, of course, is to finish with the fewest cards possible. But the version we're talking about here brings a new crew to the party, the 'copains' (buddies) who aren't there to make your life easier. Characters like the Pom-Pom Girls, Pépain le Bref, and Arsène Lupain arrive with special effects that will turn your game upside down, making you lose count and, who knows, your mind! It's a fast-paced card game with pattern recognition and a dash of real-time action that promises lots of laughs and a few 'wait, how many apples again?' moments.
