Description
Via Gladiola whisks you and up to four friends onto a whirlwind road‑trip where numbers are your tickets and luck is the fuel. In a snappy 10‑15 minute dash you’ll juggle a hand of cards, trying to climb the ladder of increasingly juicy scores while daring to push your luck just far enough to snag the best haul. The rules are so breezy you can explain them between coffee sips, yet the blend of hand‑management and daring risk‑taking keeps every round feel fresh and tense. Designed by Jeroen Geenen and Michiel de Wit, this 2026 card‑game gem packs a travel‑themed adventure into a compact, number‑loving showdown that’s perfect for 2‑5 players looking for a quick, laugh‑filled showdown. Whether you’re racing to the finish line or just enjoying the chaotic fun of daring bets, Via Gladiola makes every play feel like a fast‑lane joyride.
