Description
In 聖杯サクセション, or Throne and the Grail, two players engage in a game of bluffing and set collection that's easy to learn but challenging to master. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, this 2016 game designed by Nobutake Dogen and Nao Shimamura is perfect for a quick 10 to 20 minute gameplay session. Players take turns playing cards from their hand or collecting sets of cards, trying to outmaneuver their opponent to score points. The game features a unique combination of hand management, card drafting, and push your luck mechanics, making each round exciting and unpredictable. With different cards having varying point values, players must strategically collect sets of cards to maximize their score. But beware, collecting all three special cards can lead to an instant win, adding an extra layer of strategy to the game.
