Description

Get ready to spin into fun with Hula-Hoo, the exciting card game where animals from around the world compete in the hula hoop championships. The goal is simple: keep your hoop spinning by getting rid of all your cards, or make all other players drop out. Each player starts with a hand of five cards and five more openly in front of them, and on their turn, they can play one of their open cards or one from their hand. The first player sets the tone by playing any card and challenging the next player to play higher or lower. As the game heats up, players can choose to double down by playing the same card as the previous player, forcing everyone else to follow suit or break the double with a neighboring card or a joker. If a player can't keep up, they're out of the round. The last player standing, or the one who's gotten rid of all their cards, earns points based on the cards played in that round. The first player to reach 77 points wins the game. With its simple rules and fast-paced gameplay, Hula-Hoo is perfect for 2 to 6 players looking for a quick and entertaining game that can be played in just 10 to 20 minutes. Designed by Jacques Zeimet and published in 2021, Hula-Hoo is a wild and fun ride that's sure to delight players of all ages.
