About the game
What you do in a play session
The game is a reimplementation of Cheeky Monkey and puts you in the role of a mobster trying to accumulate more chips than your rivals. Each round, you first score the face-up chips you already have in front of you, advancing on the scoreboard, and then remove them. Next, the heart of the game kicks in: you start revealing chips one by one from the center of the table, placing them face-up in your area. After each reveal, the decision is yours: keep pushing your luck and reveal more chips, or stop and secure what you already have? Danger lurks: if you reveal a chip that is already face-up in front of you, your turn ends immediately! The only 'compensation' is a diamond if this happens after the second or third chip reveal (and if you collect three diamonds, you score 50 points and return them). But if you stop voluntarily, the reward is greater: you collect all face-up chips from other players that match the values of your chips. The first player to reach the 100-point mark on the board is declared the grand winner of the Azzardo family. A fast-paced and tense game to test your limits!
