Description

Pairs is a fast-paced card game that's all about avoiding pairs of cards. With a simple set of rules that can be explained quickly, 2 to 8 players can jump into a game that lasts just 15 minutes. The game uses a unique 55-card deck where the number of cards of each rank increases as the rank goes up, making for some exciting and unpredictable gameplay. Players take turns deciding whether to hit or forfeit, trying not to get stuck with a pair of cards that will earn them penalty points. The game ends when one player accumulates too many penalty points, and that player loses. With its easy-to-learn rules and quick playtime, Pairs is a great game for groups of friends or family looking for a fun and casual gaming experience.
