Category: Gioco base

Pairs is a new classic pub game designed by James Ernest and Paul Peterson. It’s a simple press-your luck card game with no winner, just one loser. The deck is 55 cards, numbered 1 through 10, with 1×1, 2×2, 3×3, and so on up to 10×10. It’s simple, fast, and fun.

The Princess and Mr. Whiffle is a book that looks like a children’s book, but certainly isn’t, created by Patrick Rothfuss and Nate Taylor. This deck contains some spooky kid’s book illustrations by fantasy artist Nate Taylor. It also contains the rules for “Kitty,” a bidding game for 3 to 6 players.

Madison ★★★★★

Grabbed this for game night and it went over way better than I expected. The 55-card deck plays fast, and since there's no winner, just one loser, everyone stays engaged right to the end. The Princess and Mr. Whiffle art is a nice bonus too.

Stella I. ★★★★★

The press-your-luck mechanic is what makes this one shine — you keep drawing because ten points feels safe until someone flips that second ten and you're out. Took it to a bar with four friends and we were yelling at each other within ten minutes.

Sofia C. ★★★★★

We've already played this five times tonight with different groups, and the press-your-luck tension gets everyone laughing, even the person who ends up losing. Love that there's no winner, just one poor soul holding the losing card — it keeps the whole table engaged to the very end.
