Description
In Zen Master, a simple yet strategic card game designed by Reiner Knizia, 3 to 5 players compete to have the lowest score after a series of rounds. Each round, players play a card from their hand, with the highest card earning light tokens and the lowest card earning dark tokens. The number of tokens received is determined by a scoring card, which adds a layer of unpredictability to the game. With a playtime of just 30 minutes, Zen Master is a quick and engaging game that's easy to learn and fun to play. The game's hand management and set collection mechanics require players to think carefully about which cards to play and when to hold back. As players eliminate pairs of light and dark tokens, they must balance their strategy to achieve the lowest score and become the ultimate Zen Master.
