About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a tropical, capybara-filled adventure in Capybaraka, a fast-paced and super fun card game! Each round, a number of Zen cards equal to the number of players are revealed in the center of the table. The trick is that each player secretly chooses one of their three Capybara cards. Everyone reveals at the same time, and from highest to lowest number, each player takes a Zen card from the center. It sounds simple, but the tension is real with every choice!

What is the main goal in Capybaraka?

The goal is to be the most zen capybara in the jungle! This means having the highest total score after two rounds, balancing watermelons, Fiesta cards, and staying close to zero.

How many players can participate and how long does a game last?

Capybaraka is ideal for 2 to 6 players, and a full game lasts between 20 and 20 minutes. It's perfect for a quick session or to kick off game night.

Are the rules complex for beginners?

Not at all! Capybaraka's rules are ultra-accessible. You choose a card, reveal it, take another, and score. It's super easy to pick up and start playing right away.

What are the Capybara cards and how do they work?

Each player has a unique deck of Capybara cards with numbers from 1 to 72. You secretly choose one to determine the order of picking Zen cards. Since the decks are unique, there are no ties!

Is there much player interaction?

Yes, interaction is constant! Each round, your choice of Capybara card affects the order of picking Zen cards, meaning you're always keeping an eye on what others might want to grab.

What makes Capybaraka stand out from other card games?
