Overview

Clustered is an easy-to-learn strategy card game that is fun for the whole family! The symbols on Clustered cards vary by shape, fill type, and number. During the game, players will draw cards to their hand and place them adjacent to previously placed cards, collectively building a grid that fills the play area. Challenge your pattern recognition skills by playing cards that have minimum two attributes (e.g. shape and number) in common with neighboring cards on the board. Carefully choose where to play in order to score points for yourself and/or block your opponents from doing so. Cluster your cards together in rows and a rectangle, each card scores 1 point for each cluster it is part of (max 3). Simply score more points than the other players to win. It’s anyone’s game until the last card is played! The 1st and 2nd editions also functions as expansions for each other, with 4 separate colours in each edition and identical card sizes, so they can be combined for a total of 8 players.
