Description

Carreau is a super fun and fast-paced game that's all about action and dexterity. Designed by Gavin Birnbaum, this 2018 release is perfect for 2 to 4 players looking for a quick and exciting challenge. The rules are incredibly simple, so you can dive right in and start playing without a lot of fuss. The goal is to flip your cubes as close as possible to a movable target, which sounds easy but takes a bit of practice to master. As you get the hang of it, you'll be amazed at how accurate you can be. The real magic happens when you flip a cube and it causes the target ball to move into a new position - it's not uncommon to hear a spontaneous "Ooo" or "Ahh" as the situation completely changes. And if you're really lucky, you might just manage to flip the target ball right off the playing surface, scoring a whopping 3 points and earning the right to shout "Carreauooooooooh" and bust out your best victory dance. The first player to accumulate 5 points wins the game, which typically takes around 20 to 30 minutes. With its simple rules and thrilling gameplay, Carreau is a great choice for families or casual gamers looking for a fun and lighthearted experience.
