My 6 favorite card games to play with the family!

Does it bother you to only indulge in belote and rummy, but do you enjoy these precious moments with your family racking your brains over a friendly game of cards? Get ready to refresh your board game library! I have unearthed 6 little wonders that will delight young and old during your wild family gatherings.

Kolpa

This kol or this kolpa? In truth, it’s better for you when it’s kolpa, except that sometimes it’s kolpa, but then it sticks and that makes you sweat, see?

In kolpa you will have to play cards either in front of you or on the discard pile, to play a card in front of you, it must not kol (when it matches) with the discard pile, and that will give you positive points in the end game, and what’s more, you draw! If you have no choice, you play on the discard pile, the card must be of the same color or the same number.

But be careful, when it is your turn, and you cannot play in the discard pile and one of the cards in front of you collides with that of the discard pile and it is not covered by another card, you MUST play it, and therefore lose these victory points! You can have fun playing certain cards to make your opponents discard their good cards, MALYNX!

The game ends when someone empties their hand, all the cards in front of you will be positive, and the ones in your hands will be negative.

What we like about Kolpa! :

• The game is totally addictive!
• Little bastard game par excellence as we like!
• Learns quickly and can be played with all generations

Kolpa – 2 to 6 players – from 8 years old – duration 20 mins – price: €10.90

2 apples 3 loaves

Do you like Dodelido? You will love 2 apples 3 loaves! You don’t know Dodelido? You will like 2 apples 3 loaves! Approved and guaranteed!

In two apples 3 loaves, you will turn over a card and state what you are going to see, always counting in apples and loaves. An apple appears? hop “an apple not bread!” » What if it’s a pine cone that appears? Damn… Oh well, in addition to the apple from before that makes “2 apples 2 loaves! » because a pine cone is worth 1 apple and 2 loaves of bread! (logical yes!)

You do this in 3 piles all along the draw pile, there should not be more than 3 piles face up on the table. If someone makes a mistake, announce that there is a glitch! and he takes all the cards. To that, you will be able to add a whole bunch of funny little rules that I won’t spoil for you, you have to discover them, success guaranteed! 😀

What we like about 2 pomme 3 pains:

• It creates a good mood around the table
• The game is complex yet easy to explain and play
• It hurts your brain so much to look for those apples and those loaves of bread and the pine cones!

2 apples 3 loaves – from 2 to 6 players – from 8 years old – duration 15 mins – price: €11.90

Cat in the box

Uhh the cat, is it dead or alive? Well, don’t worry, in cat in the box you are not going to do this thought experiment, but you will be entitled to certain paradoxes all the same!

It’s a trick game that perfectly renews the genre! You will bet on the number of tricks that you think you will win (hello skull king!) then you will play a card from your hand, these cards have no color, and it is you who will choose the color of the card on your game board, the other players will have to follow you, or not, if they decide not to follow you, they will have to make this color unusable!

If at any point in the game, a player cannot play any cards, there is a paradox! And it’s the end of the round, we count the points, the one who did the paradox wins a negative number of points equal to the number of more points he won, the others win their number of tricks in positive points and in addition , if the bet is successful, they gain 1 point per adjacent token of their color on the board.

It’s so good! It’s a change from other games while still keeping certain codes that work well!

What we like about Cat in the box:

• The material is just: SUBLIME!
• The game in a more renewed 2K23 way, it feels good
• There are lots of ways to annoy the family, and we love that!

Cat in the box – from 2 to 5 players – from 13 years old – duration 30 mins – price: €24.50

Robotrick

Are you ready to face a super intelligent robot who will do anything to make you lose as many points as possible?

Robotrick is a tricks game (yes again!) in which there will be 3 of you fighting for victory, and not… 4 in fact, because there will be the robot who will do everything to make you lose points! How ? You will choose one of the available automa cards from a certain number. This will define which cards and when the robot can play them. You will distribute an equal number of cards to everyone, discovering one coming from the robot’s hand: this will be the trump card for this round.

Then discard one into each of your hands. Each round, the robot starts playing, then you follow. If you cannot follow you must play either the trump card or another card. If you win the trick, you win the robot card points! (not yours!) And if the robot wins, you win your card as a negative point. But be careful, you are only allowed to win 3 tricks per round, all other tricks that you win will be counted as negative points until the end of the round. Think carefully about your moves so as not to be fooled! It’s more strategic than it sounds.

What we like about Robotrick:

• The strategy that this new version of the trick game brings
• The DA is great, the rules are simple and very clear
• It’s a bastard game that I like too, with a little more strategic edge that makes you feel good!

Robotrick – 3 players – from 10 years old – duration 30 mins – price: €13.50

Odin

Hey vikings! Are you ready to compete in a super smart and super simple card game? As they say: simple, quick, effective! This game is perfect to play with the family. So grab your best shields and join us in this epic battle! (and collegram)

During each round of Odin, you will receive a certain number of cards in hand, and your objective will be to get rid of them before the end of the round. Indeed, when one of your opponents has gotten rid of all their cards, we will count the points, awarding one point per card remaining in hand. The first person to reach 15 points loses the game, and the player with the fewest points will be declared the winner.

To play it’s simple, the first player must play a card, then the next player must play a necessarily higher card or one more card (so 2 ​​cards maximum for the second player), the third player must also play a number higher and a maximum of 1 more card, but be careful when you place a card you will have to take one of the cards that the player before will have placed on the table.. so on until someone plays these last cards, when this happens, she does not draw additional cards, it announces the end of the round.

Small additional point of rule: when you place several cards, they are read as ten and unit, and the largest card will be the tens card (or hundred, or thousand), if you place a 1 and a 4, your number will not will not be 14, but 41. It’s not that easy to get out of it!

What we like about Odin:

• It’s lively and incredibly effective, it creates a friendly and joyful atmosphere at the table!
• The game is clever, it’s fun to think of a different strategy throughout the round!
• It works with everyone, it’s a real success!

Marvel Remix

“The real heroes are not those who are the strongest, but those who have the most courage” Keep this in mind before playing Marvel Remix, because it may be useful to you!

Marvel remix is ​​a super min hand building game, you will start with 7 cards, and you will only have exactly 7 cards in your hand from the start to the end of the game, 1 villain card and 6 remix cards! On your turn, you will have the choice between drawing the first card from the villain draw pile, or remix, and discarding a card from your hand (the one you just drew or another), the discard pile is visible on the table, and thus the next player will have the choice between drawing a card from one of the draw piles or drawing from the discard pile by choosing, then discarding a card from their hand in the same way, so on until there are 10 cards visible in the discard pile, this announces the end of the game.

By doing this, you will try to match your cards together in order to gain maximum points per card thanks to the pictograms and the power of the cards. But be careful, at the end of the game, you will be required to have at least 1 hero or ally card in hand, as well as a villain card. Otherwise you have 0 points, we do not count your cards.

What a pleasure and what a challenge to decide between different options! Villain cards can be very profitable, but be careful, they also come with their share of restrictions. We want to take several, but it is at your own risk!

What we like about Marvel remix:

• The AD, when you’re a Marvel fan, it’s really nice to see all these winks!
• The game is very strategic with real choices to make throughout
• The rules are still very simple even if the game is quite complex.

Marvel remix – from 2 to 6 players – from 12 years old – duration 20 mins – price: €22.50
