About the game

What you do in a play session

Sen (meaning 'dream' in Japanese) is a fun and fast-paced card game where the goal is to have the lowest possible score. But there's a twist: you don't know all your cards at the start! With hand management and memory mechanics, you can peek at your cards or your opponents', swap cards, and try to reduce your total. When you think you're ahead, you can end the round. But be careful: if you're wrong, you'll get a penalty! The game continues until someone reaches 100 points, and the player with the fewest points at the end wins. Inspired by classics like Rat-a-Tat Cat and Cabo, Sen is perfect for families and casual players who enjoy a light yet strategic challenge. The dream and animal themes add extra charm to the game!
