Description

Get ready for a hilarious and fast-paced card game with Shenanigans, a game designed by Michael Eskue and published in 2009. This game is all about having fun and outsmarting your opponent, with simple rules that can be explained in no time, making it perfect for a quick 15-minute playtime. As a player, you'll be competing against one other person to collect sets of colored cards, with each card having a specific color and action. The twist is that the rarity of the colors affects the availability and power of the cards, with rarer colors like violet having more powerful actions. As you play, you'll need to balance the need to keep rare colored cards with the need to use their abilities, all while trying to be the first to collect a set and call "Shenanigans" to score a point. The first player to call "Shenanigans" three times wins the game, so you'll need to stay on your toes and think strategically to outmaneuver your opponent. With its unique blend of hand management, card drafting, pattern building, and trick-taking mechanics, Shenanigans is a game that will keep you laughing and entertained from start to finish, making it a great choice for anyone looking for a lighthearted and humorous card game.
