About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a cooperative challenge that tests your ability to communicate without speaking! In Ito Rainbow, each player secretly receives a number between 1 and 100. The goal? To arrange all these cards in ascending numerical order, without anyone revealing their number to the others. It's a game of pure deduction and group synergy, where clues are subtle and silence is golden. Forget detailed conversations; here, communication boils down to gestures and intuition, all within a time limit that adds an extra layer of tension.
The rules are simple: everyone lines up their secret cards in order, and only after everyone agrees (or gives up trying!) are the cards revealed one by one. If the sequence is perfect, victory! If a number is out of place, everyone loses. Ito Rainbow differs from its predecessor with new components, like colorful gems and a timer, which open doors to novel game modes. Besides the classic mode, there's a team mode where two groups compete to see who gets the most cards in the correct sequence. The cards are smaller than the original Ito's, but the challenge and fun are enormous. It's the perfect game for groups who enjoy puzzling things out together, testing the limits of communication and intuition in quick and exciting rounds. Ideal for those seeking a light experience with a touch of mental challenge and plenty of social interaction.
