About the game
Get ready for a round of pure strategy and bluffing with Llama Llama! In this agile and fun game, each player builds their hand of cards aiming to fulfill secret objectives. The twist is that the scoring conditions are chosen by everyone at the start of the round, but secretly. You'll have to use all your intuition to decipher what your opponents are plotting and ensure the highest possible score. It's a card-passing game where every decision counts, and trying to guess others' strategies is as important as building your own. With quick games lasting only 15 minutes and straightforward rules, Llama Llama is perfect for warming up the evening or for that strategic break. The simplicity of the open and closed drafting mechanics hides a surprising depth, ideal for those who enjoy a mental challenge without lengthy explanations. If you like games that make you think a bit beyond the obvious, with a touch of cute (and perhaps a bit competitive!) animals, Llama Llama will win you over. It's a reimplementation of Dog Poker, so if you liked that one, you'll feel right at home here. Ideal for playing with family or friends, guaranteeing laughs and that healthy competition to see who is the master of the llamas!
