NeoN (2010)

About this game

NeoN is a new type card game similar to the traditional card game Michigan. The game is composed of 60 cards from 1 to 6. First, reveal from the deck cards equal to the number of players, and lay them faceup in the center of the table. Then deal out the remaining cards to every player evenly. The players then play several cards from their hand to get one of the cards in the center. If you play the highest set, you get the highest cards in the center. After deciding which center cards goes to which player, the played cards now become the new center cards and play goes to the next round. This procedure is repeated until two of the players have no cards remaining in their hand. The trick is if you play the highest cards, then they will be the big points in the next round! A simple but innovative card game. Published at Game Market 2010 in Asakusa.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.7/5 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.
