About the game

What you do in a play session

Punto is a quick and simple strategy game packed with smart decisions. The goal is to create a line of four or five cards of your color on a 6x6 grid. Each player has a deck of cards with dots ranging from 1 to 9, and you need to play your cards strategically: either in empty spaces adjacent to already played cards, or on top of other cards, as long as yours has more dots. When someone completes a line, they win the round, and the card with the most dots in that line is removed from the game. The first to win two rounds takes the victory! In two-player games, each player uses two decks but must create lines of a single color. In three-player games, extra color cards are used as blockers. Punto is perfect for those who enjoy quick games with a strategic twist.
