About the game
What you do in a play session
Ever played a game where you think you've got everything under control, only to realize you have no clue what's actually in your hand? Welcome to CABO! It's a fast-paced, chaotic, and incredibly fun-to-play card game where the goal is surprisingly simple: end the round with the lowest total score possible. The catch? You start the game looking at a hand of face-down cards, and you don't know what they are!
Throughout the game, you'll use special-power cards to peek at your own cards, spy on your opponents, or even swap your low numbers for someone else's high ones. It's a constant tug-of-war between memory, luck, and strategic sabotage. When you feel confident that your score is the lowest, you shout 'CABO!' to end the round. But beware: if you call it too early and someone else actually has a lower score, you're going to face some-not-so-fun penalties.
This second edition brings polished artwork,-improved-rules, and-a-handy-scorepad to make the experience even smoother. It's a perfect blend of-memory-and-interaction, making it a hit for casual gamers and party enthusiasts alike. Whether you're trying to outsmart your best friend or just trying to remember if that card you saw was a 1 or a 10, CABO keeps everyone on their toes. It's quick to learn, easy to set up, and highly addictive. Just don't blame us when you find yourself asking for 'just one more round' for the next two hours!
