About the game

What you do in a play session

Olympicards is a card game that puts you in the shoes of an Olympic athlete competing in nine different events. Each sport has its own rules for playing cards, so you'll need strategy to decide when to conserve energy or go all-in for gold. Starting with six cards in hand, each with a number and a color, you play one or two per turn until you can't—or don't want to—go on. The first to drop gets more cards for the next round, but those who stay until the end take the gold medal (and the points!). After nine events, the highest scorer wins. It's fast, fun, and perfect for fans of light games with a dash of strategy.
