Description

Get ready to climb the ladder and push your luck in Mada, a thrilling card game designed by Sophia Wagner. Released in 2022, this game is perfect for 2 to 5 players looking for a quick and exciting experience that can be learned in no time. With a playtime of just 20 minutes, Mada is great for a casual game night or a fun break with friends. The simple rules make it easy to dive right in and start playing, but don't let that fool you - the game is full of strategic depth and surprising twists. As you play, you'll need to manage your hand carefully, choosing when to play a card, draw a new one, or take a risk. The cards you play must be equal or higher than the previous one, and playing high cards can bring big rewards, but also ends the round faster, which can be a double-edged sword. Special cards can help you or hinder your opponents, adding a delightful take-that element to the game. Your goal is to collect as many prickly pears as possible, and the game ends when one player reaches 5 cards. With its unique blend of hand management, ladder climbing, and push-your-luck mechanics, Mada is a wild and entertaining ride that's sure to leave you wanting more.
