About the game
Get ready for a twist in Blaze, a card game that challenges you to get rid of your cards in a very peculiar way! Forget the obvious, because here the play is a team effort... but not with whom you expect! Each round, the current player forms a dynamic duo with the SECOND player to their right. Yes, you read that right! This creates alliances that shift faster than teenage moods, making each game an unpredictable adventure. The ultimate goal? To accumulate the most feathers. Whoever gathers the most of these golden plumes claims the glory! Inspired by the classic Russian game Durak, Blaze features a beautiful presentation with illustrations by Nadezhda Mikryukova, who brings legendary firebirds and stylish card frames to life. It's a fast-paced game with matches that don't exceed 20 minutes, ideal for those who enjoy a different dynamic and aren't afraid to switch partners mid-game. With accessible rules and a touch of strategy, Blaze is perfect for livening up any get-together, especially if you like card games with a hint of unpredictability and eye-catching art. If you enjoy games that break the mold and make you think outside the box, Blaze might be your next gaming passion!
