Description

In the card game Samoa, players collect feathers to decorate masks, but with a twist - ownership of the masks is secret. Each player tries to deduce who owns which mask, playing colored or black cards to the five masks on the table. The goal is to create the most colorful masks, worth the most points, while also trying to figure out who owns each one. As players take turns revealing cards and adding them to the masks, they'll need to use a combination of luck and strategy to outmaneuver their opponents. The game is easy to learn, but with mechanics like betting, bluffing, and deduction, it's got plenty of depth to keep players engaged. With three rounds to play and plenty of opportunities to press your luck, Samoa is a fun and fast-paced game for 2 to 4 players that can be played in just 25 minutes.
