Description

Cartas a Vapor is a thrilling card game that brings together classic mechanics with a unique twist, set in a retro-futuristic Brazil inspired by Steampunk novels and classic literature. Players are divided into two teams, heroes and villains, and can choose from 14 different missions, each with its own objectives and conditions. The goal is to create sequences with numbered gear cards, and when a sequence is completed, the last player to add a card gets to keep all the gears. This simple yet strategic gameplay is easy to learn, making it accessible to players of all skill levels. As players collect gears, they can use them to obtain special tool cards that can either help their team or hinder their opponents. With its blend of hand management, trick-taking, and variable player powers, Cartas a Vapor offers a fun and dynamic experience for 2 to 6 players. Games are quick, lasting around 30 minutes or less, making it perfect for a casual game night or a quick break. Designed by Samanta Geraldini and Kevin Talarico, Cartas a Vapor is a great example of how classic game mechanics can be reimagined in a fresh and exciting way, with a unique theme that sets it apart from other card games.
