About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for Diwali eve with "A Light Game," a quick and brilliant duel where you and a friend vie for the last light bulbs and batteries in the store. With only 11 rounds, you'll take turns drafting cards, racing to create the most dazzling festive display. Each bulb has an exact voltage requirement, and you'll need to use batteries – adding or subtracting – to meet it. Every choice is a puzzle: is it more worthwhile to grab bulbs that yield many points, secure that essential battery before your opponent does, or collect matching colors for elegance bonuses? The rules are simple, but the decisions are deep, blending drafting, spatial planning, and a touch of math. It's a family-friendly game that shines with strategy, but remember, shining bright is only half the challenge; the real trick is doing it with elegance. In under 15 minutes, you'll craft a tactical experience that will leave everyone impressed.
