About the game
What you do in a play session
Skate: The Card Game is a fast-paced and fun card game that captures the essence of skateboarding without requiring you to leave your home. The goal is simple: be the first to land five tricks before your opponents. But beware, because if you accumulate two 'Eat Pavement' cards, all your prepared tricks are discarded! The game comes with three decks: Skate, Grind, and Trick, totaling over 150 cards. The two-card hand limit mechanic adds a strategic layer, as you need to decide when to push to draw new cards, plant cards to set up a trick, kick opponents to hinder them, or balance to avoid the pavement. To land a trick, you need to match two Foot cards with the colors on the Trick card. Grind cards offer extra opportunities to score points, while Gnarly cards can substitute any color. With matches lasting between 15 and 45 minutes, Skate: The Card Game is perfect for casual players and skateboarding fans looking for a quick and adrenaline-filled experience.
