Description

Release is a fun and easy-to-learn card game that's all about managing cooperation and competition with other players. With simple rules, you can dive right in and start playing with 2 to 10 friends. The goal is to score the most points across five releases, but here's the twist - the scoring rules change each round as you reveal new tools and methods. This means you'll need to adapt your strategy on the fly to come out on top. The game is played in rounds, with each player contributing a card to a trick, and the highest card taking the trick. But with special bonus powers on the face cards, things can get interesting. You might need to win as many tricks as possible, lose as many as you can, or fish for specific cards to maximize your score. With its light and playful take on software development, Release is a great game for a quick 30-minute play session with friends.
