About the game
What you do in a play session
Brokies is a card game that puts hand management at the heart of the action. Instead of hoarding cards, the goal is to shed them as quickly as possible, but with a twist of strategy: you can force the draw of a card from the top of the deck – always 6 cards in the pile – and use ‘+’ or wild cards to boost the strength of your combinations. Each turn is fast, but each choice matters, because the ladder of points depends on how well you build your hands. The design brings a stylish horror vibe, with characters drawn by Sai Beppu that give the game a creepy flair. The ladder climbing mechanic makes each victory a small step up the points ladder, keeping the tension high. The game works for 2 to 6 players, with games lasting between 20 and 30 minutes, perfect for quick sessions or for those who don’t want to spend hours at the table. Scoring is simple, but card combinations can create unexpected plays. The components are well made: a high‑quality card deck, score tokens, and a small board that fits any table. If you enjoy games that demand quick decisions and have a taste for horror themes, Brokies is a fun pick that fits well into any card game collection.
