Kaboodl (2004)

About this game

Kaboodl is played with 103 cards. The object is to collect the 12 'Kaboodl' cards from the centre and have the most at the end of play. Each Kaboodl card has a creature, a background colour and one, two or three dots on it. You can collect a Kaboodl card from the centre by matching colour, creature and dot cards from your hand. Special cards also allow you to steal another players Kaboodl card or stop them from stealing it.

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 7 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
