Dodekka (2014)

About this game

Your goal in Dodekka is to collect the highest score possible from one of the five suits, while ideally scoring nothing in all of the other suits as those cards count against you! The deck includes cards numbered 0-4 in each color, and three cards start face up on the table. Game play is simple: Take the first card on display, or reveal a card from the deck and add it to the end of the row. If the sum of the cards on display now totals more than twelve, however, you must pick up all of the cards on display. Gameplay continues until the deck runs out, then the player with the highest score wins.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 6 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
