About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for some fruity chaos! In Plátano Pocho, you take on the role of a banana desperately trying to stay fresh while your friends do everything they can to see you rot. The goal is simple, but the execution is pure mayhem: you must prevent your banana from progressing through four levels of ripening, from perfect green to completely rotten. On each turn, you play cards to attack your opponents, trying to speed up their rot, or use cards to shield yourself and set up strategic combos to ensure survival. But it's not just about attacking! When a magnet card hits the table, the intensity ramps up: you must shout and join the fray as fast as possible, as speed is key to piling on the action. And if you are the unlucky one whose banana rots completely? Don't panic, you're not out! The elimination system here is super friendly: you revive as a special character with a unique ability that completely changes your gameplay dynamic for the rest of the round. It's a frenetic experience set within the Rey Mono universe, perfect for those seeking something quick and hilarious. The winner is the player with the least rotten banana, securing a strategic advantage for the next round. With a playtime of just 15 to 30 minutes and supporting up to 8 players, it's the perfect game to kick off a game night or for a quick break between heavier titles. The kit includes 85 cards, 8 mini player boards, and a wooden meeple for that extra touch.
