Description
Get ready to ride the rails with LOOP: The Elevated Card Game, a fun and fast-paced game for 2 to 7 players that's all about navigating the famous Loop in Chicago. With simple rules that can be explained in no time, you'll be up and running in minutes, and games typically last between 10 to 20 minutes, making it perfect for a quick gathering with friends. The goal is to be the first player to get rid of all your cards, and the player who's most recently used public transportation gets to deal, adding a fun twist to the game. Gameplay is easy to pick up, similar to classics like UNO or Crazy Eights, but with a transportation twist. Instead of matching numbers or suits, you match the L line or station, trying to create a route through the city. For example, if the top card is a Brown Line card for the Washington/Wells station, you can play any other Brown Line card or one or more non-Brown Washington/Wells cards, just like transferring lines in real life. This mechanic adds a fun layer of strategy, as you try to outmaneuver your opponents and get rid of your cards first. With the added elements of hand management, network and route building, and take that mechanics, LOOP: The Elevated Card Game offers a unique and engaging experience. As you play, you'll encounter the everyday challenges of rush hour, like crowded trains and forgotten farecards, adding an extra layer of excitement to the game. With its transportation theme and easy-to-learn rules, LOOP: The Elevated Card Game is perfect for families, casual gamers, and anyone who loves the city of Chicago. First published in 2018, this game has been delighting players for years, and its compact playtime makes it easy to fit into even the busiest schedules. So gather your friends, grab some cards, and get ready to ride the Loop, but beware, the first player to get rid of their cards wins, so don't get left at the station.
