About the game
Warm up your vocal cords and get ready to perform, because Pablo is here to turn your table into a full-blown stage! If you love that organized chaos of a party where everyone wants the spotlight, this is the game for you. The premise is simple, but the fun is chaotic: you receive cards with words and categories (in both Portuguese and English) divided by difficulty levels—easy, medium, and hard. The goal? Sing songs that contain these words to score points. The harder the word, the more points you earn!

But wait, it gets better: you don't have to sing alone. If someone at the table has a word that also appears in the song you started, they can 'crash' the performance and sing along, securing their own points. It's the kind of game that creates an improvised karaoke vibe, with everyone trying to recall old lyrics or current hits. To add some spice, the game includes special tokens. The Microphone lets you exchange cards in your hand, while the Onomatopoeia token doubles your points if the song features those 'Yeah-Yeah-Yeah' or 'La-la-la' bits.

And for those who love a bit of friendly banter, we have the Tomato Token. It doesn't have a complex technical rule, but it serves the most noble purpose of all: being 'thrown' at the opponent who messes up the lyrics! With 140 cards and various gold, platinum, and diamond discs to track your musical glory, Pablo is fast, light, and perfect for breaking the ice at any gathering. It doesn't matter if you sing like an angel or are completely tone-deaf; what matters here is creativity and memory to find the right song at the right time. Call your friends, pick your words, and get ready for the show!

The game supports 3 to 8 players, making it ideal for larger groups where the chaos is greater.
How long does a game last?
It's very quick, usually finishing within 30 minutes, making it a great icebreaker for the night.
Is the game complex?
Nope, it's a weight 1/5 game. You can explain the rules in two minutes and everyone can start singing.
What does the Tomato Token do?
It's used to 'tomato' whoever messes up the song! It's the funniest part of the game's social interaction.
