Description

Zwickern is a classic card game that's all about strategic hand management and set collection. First published in 1999, this game has been entertaining players for years with its simple yet engaging gameplay. Designed for 3 to 4 players, Zwickern is a team-based game that can be learned quickly, making it accessible to new players. A typical game lasts between 30 to 45 minutes, which is just the right amount of time to get your competitive juices flowing without feeling overwhelmed. In Zwickern, players take turns playing cards from their hand to collect valuable sets and earn points. The game starts with a pool of cards on the table, and players must use their cards wisely to claim these cards and build their collections. With a mix of single-number and double-number cards, players must think strategically about when to play each card to maximize their points. As players collect cards, they earn points for their sets, as well as bonus points for collecting the most cards or buying all the cards on display in a single turn. The player with the most points at the end of the game is declared the winner, making Zwickern a fun and challenging game that's perfect for casual game nights or competitive gatherings.
