About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for an exciting race in 'Go Wild!', a card game that will test your trick-taking skills! With a deck of 108 cards, including 5 suits and wild cards, each game is a new adventure. The objective is simple: accumulate points by winning tricks. Each round has three tricks, and the scoring increases with each one: the first is worth 1 point, the second 2, and the third 3. The trick here is that, each round, whoever wins the first trick becomes the 'Wild One'. This person has the special power to use wild cards to boost their color sets and secure the win for that round. This power only passes to another player if they win the first trick in the next round. With quick games lasting about 20 minutes and ideal for up to 6 players, 'Go Wild!' is perfect for those who enjoy card games with a strategic touch, but without complexity. It's a light game, perfect for livening up any gathering and challenging friends to see who reaches 20 points first. If you enjoy games where every play counts and power can change hands at any moment, 'Go Wild!' will win you over!
