Hamsterbacke (2014)

About this game

In the tricky card game Hamsterbacke, players want to collect as many sets of cards as possible, store them away, and pick up extra points from other players — but those who are too greedy might find themselves left behind. In the end, whoever collects the most points wins.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 5.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
