About the game
What you do in a play session
Cerpelos is a fun and fast-paced card game where the goal is to lure the adorable Cerberus to your side. Over several rounds, you’ll try to complete sets of matching heads, which are laid out on the table and thin the deck. But beware: the player in last place can earn bonus points during and at the end of the game. So, is it worth risking falling behind? When the rounds end or the deck is depleted, the player with the most points from their cards wins. With mechanics like set collection, push your luck, and end game bonuses, Cerpelos is a mix of strategy and luck that will appeal to both mythology fans and lovers of quick games.
