Description

Pico is a quick and simple card game that's all about outsmarting your opponents. Designed by Frank Nestel and first published in 1996, this game is perfect for 2 to 3 players looking for a fast-paced and fun experience. With a playtime of just 10 minutes, you can easily fit in a few rounds with friends or family. The rules are easy to learn, so you can dive right in and start playing. The gameplay is where Pico really shines. Players select cards simultaneously, trying to guess what their opponents will play. The highest card wins, unless it's more than twice the opponent's card, in which case it loses. This twist adds a layer of strategy to the game, as you need to balance playing high cards to win with the risk of losing if you play too high. The cards are numbered from 2 to 10, 13, and 16, and the losing card is returned to its owner's hand, while the winning card is scored. With its unique blend of hand management and simultaneous action selection, Pico is a game that will keep you on your toes and coming back for more.
