About the game
What you do in a play session
The cool part is that at the start of each game, every player receives a handful of special cards. These are your secret weapons to turn the game around! Got dealt some not-so-great cards in your main hand? No sweat! With the right cards, played at the right moment, you can reverse the tide and come out on top. It's pure strategy, with that touch of luck we all love.
The game includes an illustrated 54-card deck plus 28 special cards to add that extra flavor. The fun is guaranteed for 2 to 4 players, ages 10 and up, and the complexity is quite manageable, perfect for those who want something lighter but with depth. If you enjoy card games with a different spin and aren't afraid of a little 'take that' interaction, Chicago Cribbage might become your new favorite.
