About the game

What you do in a play session

Samoa is a party of colors, bluffing, and deduction disguised as a light card game. Each player has a secret mask (no one knows who owns which) and the goal is to decorate it with colorful feathers to score points. Gameplay is simple: on your turn, you reveal a card from the deck and decide which mask to place it on (top or bottom). But here’s the twist: you can try to deduce who owns which mask to earn bonuses — or make others lose points if they figure out yours! The game has three rounds, so even if you mess up one, you still have a chance to bounce back. The elements water, fire, and air add a bit of controlled chaos: the sea might bring extra feathers, while fire + wind could burn your hard-earned points. Samoa is fast, fun, and perfect for those who enjoy games with a touch of psychology and luck. Pro tip: don’t celebrate too early — someone might flip the game until the very last moment!
