Description

In Archduke, you'll start with a set of face-down cards, some of which you know and some that are a mystery. Your goal is to have the lowest sum of points at the end of each round, and you'll achieve this by swapping, stealing, and getting rid of cards. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, you'll be up and playing in no time with 2 to 6 friends. As you play, you'll draw cards and decide whether to keep them, exchange them for one of your own, or discard them. But be careful, because some cards have special abilities that can help or hinder your progress. When you think you have the lowest hand, call Archduke and trigger the final scoring. With playtime lasting just 15 to 25 minutes, Archduke is a quick and exciting game that's perfect for a party or casual gathering.
