Description

Get ready for a thrilling card game with Dickory, a fast-paced climbing game designed by Sean Ross and Hanibal Sonderegger. Released in 2021, this game is perfect for two players looking for a quick and exciting experience that can be enjoyed in just 10 to 20 minutes. The rules are easy to learn, making it accessible to new players, and the game mechanics of hand management and ladder climbing add a layer of strategy and fun. In Dickory, players aim to be the first to get rid of their cards by playing them in singles, doubles, triples, quads, or 3-card runs. The twist is that ranks can shift by cleverly manipulating a conveyor belt queue of cards, where the rightmost rank becomes the highest. This circular ranking system adds a level of complexity and challenge, making the game engaging and entertaining for players of all skill levels.
