Description

Linko is a fast-paced card game that's all about strategy and a little bit of luck. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, 2 to 5 players can jump into a game that lasts just 20 minutes. Players take turns playing number cards, trying to collect sets of the same number to score points at the end of the game. But watch out - if someone else plays the same amount of cards with a higher number, they can steal yours. The game is easy to learn, but it's not just about playing cards - it's about outsmarting your opponents and timing your moves just right. With no necessary in-game text, anyone can play, regardless of language. Designed by Michael Kiesling and Wolfgang Kramer, Linko has been a favorite since its release in 2014. It's a great game for a quick gathering with friends or family, and its short playtime means you can play multiple rounds and compete for the highest score.
