5Pairs

Deceptivly simple but provides room for some great risky strategy. For what it is, a light card game, 10 out of 10

An interesting little game that may seem simple at first, but quickly becomes surprisingly thinky. You really have to plan your moves carefully and play strategically. I've played it at several conventions in Croatia and it has always led to plenty of laughs and a genuinely fun experience! It has become one of the most-played small games in my gaming group. On top of that, the retro artwork is absolutely charming and the game looks fantastic on the table. I hope this 10/10 rating encourages more people to give it a chance.

5Pairs is a quick and surprisingly tactical card game. It’s easy to learn and a lot of fun, but there’s more strategy involved than you might expect. Keeping track of which cards have already been played can really pay off, and sometimes it’s even worth deliberately taking cards to set up the perfect final move. For us, 5Pairs works best with 3–4 players – fast, clever and great fun!
