隅田川 (Sumida River) (2023)

About this game

隅田川 ("Sumida River") is a card-shedding game in which you can't play the same number of cards as the previous player. The deck contains 52 cards: three 3s up to ten 10s. The game includes a swapping rule that allows you to exchange all the cards in your hand, picking up an "almighty" card each time you do so, giving you the opportunity to make weak cards stronger.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 4.
• Rules load. No complexity score has been recorded for this one.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
