Scout

Board game in Italian. Duration: 20 minutes. Players: 2-5. Ages: 9+.

Scout is a brilliant ladder-climbing card game with a unique mechanic: each card has two different values ​​(from 1 to 10), and the valid number depends on the side you hold it in your hand. The unique feature? At the start of the game, you receive a hand of cards that cannot be rearranged , but only rotated individually, making every tactical choice and every combination a thrilling challenge.

On your turn, you can play cards , either individually or in combinations such as sets of the same rank or sequences (runs), as long as they are strong enough to surpass the meld currently on the table. Alternatively, you can draw a card from the meld in play, gaining a valuable boost to your hand... but giving a point to the opponent who played it.

Given the same number of cards, the combination with the highest values ​​always wins, whether it's singles, pairs, three of a kind, or more complex sequences. Winning combinations are retained as points earned .

The round ends when a player runs out of cards or when no one can complete the combination in play before the turn returns to the player who played it. At the end of the round, any cards left in hand carry negative points , making it essential to plan each exit carefully.
