About the game
Get ready for some fruity frenzy with Manzanas Manazas! This card game is pure adrenaline, blending quick reflexes with a dash of bluffing, all packed inside a giant apple-shaped box. The goal is simple: be the first to collect 3 apple tokens by grabbing the best fruits from the orchard and avoiding the rotten ones.

Each round starts with two secrets in each player's hand. One of you takes on the role of 'El Cesto', the conductor of this chaotic symphony. They set the pace with shouts of '¡MANZANAS!'. On the first shout, everyone quickly peeks at one of their cards. On the second, the magic happens: pass a card to your left, receive one from your right. And on the third shout, it's time to play your chosen card face-up on the table. But beware! At any moment, 'El Cesto' can yell '¡MANAZAS!' and anyone caught touching or impulsively passing cards is out of the round. It's a test of nerves and agility!

After the chaos, the cards reveal who wins. Regular apples are worth points based on the number of leaves shown. Blue Apples give you the power to steal a token from an opponent. And the dreaded Rotten Apples? Well, whoever plays one loses a point. With games lasting around 5 minutes, Manzanas Manazas is perfect for livening up any party, gathering friends, or even teaching the little ones to handle pressure and luck. It's guaranteed fast-paced fun!
