About the game

What you do in a play session

In 'Viva', the goal is simple: be the first to get rid of all your cards! To do this, you need to play cards that match the number or color of the last card played. But here's the twist: you can interrupt another player's turn if you can play a specific combination. For example, if you play a card that, when added to the last card played, equals 10, or if you play a card with the same number and color. Each round ends when someone runs out of cards, and negative points are counted for the cards left in hand — but don't worry, if you have two cards that add up to 10, they don't count! It's a fast, loud, and twist-filled game. Get ready to think fast, shout loud, and celebrate victory!
