Description

Il Cucco is a ridiculously simple yet addictive ancient card game that's been a hit in Italy, Germany, and Scandinavia for centuries. With a playing time of just 2 minutes, it's the perfect game to squeeze in whenever you've got a spare moment. The rules are so easy to pick up that you'll be playing like a pro in no time, making it accessible to a huge range of players - from 2 to 40 can join in on the fun. The goal of the game is to avoid being stuck with the lowest valued card at the end of each round, which is easier said than done. Players are dealt a single card and can choose to exchange it with the previous player, but here's the twist - you have no idea what they're holding. This adds a thrilling element of bluffing to the game, as you try to outmaneuver your opponents and come out on top. With its unique blend of trading and player elimination mechanics, Il Cucco is a game that's all about strategy, luck, and a little bit of cunning. Whether you're playing with a small group of friends or a huge crowd, Il Cucco is sure to bring plenty of excitement and laughter to the table.
