This super-fast card game challenges you to question what you truly see. With a deck of vibrant colored cards, the goal is to get rid of your cards as quickly as possible, but the catch is you need to guess how many cards of a certain color are visible on the table. Sounds easy? Think again! Each round, a player reveals a card and states how many cards of that color they believe are exposed. The other players, in turn, decide whether to agree or disagree. If you disagree, you can raise the stakes, and so on. Whoever miscounts (or is the last to agree to a wrong bet) takes the cards into their hand. It's a game of bluffing, perception, and a bit of visual madness. Perfect for warming up the group before a heavier game or for those moments when you want something light and fun. The rules are so simple that the game starts almost instantly, and matches don't last more than 15 minutes. Ideal for those who enjoy games that test attention and the ability to read other players, all packaged in a small and charming box. ## FAQ ### How many people can play Illusion?
