Tribute to a card game with elusive origins tracing back to Central and South America, KOMBIO's addictive mix of chance, strategy and high level of player-to-player interaction is designed to bring people together. GOAL: Get the lowest score by using memory, speed and deception. BRIEF OVERVIEW: A game for two people or groups, players determine the length of a game by setting limits; play a quick match or multiple rounds. To start players are dealt four cards face-down and take turns either drawing a card from the pile or taking the last discarded card. Cards on the table can be shed, viewed and swapped so it's important to gain knowledge of card values and their locations. A game consists of multiple rounds, a round ends when a player calls "KOMBIO" with hope they have the lowest score on the table. With a complexity to keep people engaged and a simplicity that allows for quick learning, KOMBIO is great for trips or livening up any given day with competitive fun. A unique rule in KOMBIO is the ability to access opponent's hands AT ANY TIME. Irregardless of turn, players can shed cards by grabbing a card and correctly matching it on the last discarded card. This rule creates a competitive atmosphere fueled by focus and anticipation. IN THE BOX: 70 playing cards, 2 reference cards, 1 rule booklet, 4 stickers MATERIAL: premium cardstock (310 gsm german black core with linen finish)
