Amnesia (2021)

About this game

Amnesia is a card game that involves memory, thinking, and concentration. Each deck includes 58 cards and a rulebook. The objective of the game is to score the least amount of points. Each player starts with 4 cards, arranged on the table face-down on a 4x4 grid. Players draw and discard cards, trying to achieve the lowest possible score based on card values. If a player discards a special card, its power is triggered. The final round is triggered when a player believes they have 6 or less points on their cards, declaring "Amnesia!". Each other player plays his last turn and the game ends. The player who ended the game sum their cards points, and gets a bonus or penalty. The rest of the players sum its cards values for their score. Several rounds are played, until one player reaches 80 points on "classic" mode, or 40 for a "turbo" game.

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