Description
Chimera is a fast-paced card game designed for three players, where two team up against one in a battle of wits. Easy to learn, this 45-minute game is all about strategic hand management and clever bidding. Players take turns playing sequential pairs, trips, straights, and other card combinations to outmaneuver their opponents and score points. In each hand, one player becomes the Chimera, while the other two join forces as Chimera Hunters to take them down. With its unique blend of auction, bidding, and ladder climbing mechanics, Chimera offers a thrilling experience that's similar to other popular climbing and shedding card games. Designed by Ralph H. Anderson and first published in 2014, Chimera is a fun and engaging game that's perfect for a quick gaming session with friends.
