Cinco (2010)

About this game

In the game of CINCO, each player tries to lay down five of his own playing pieces in a row in a straight continuous line on the gameboard. The board shows 90 fields numbered 1-90. The fields where a player may place one of his pieces is limited through cards (like in 5iveStraight). There are 90 cards numbered 1-90. Each player starts with four cards. When in his turn he plays a card the number shown determines the field where he may play a piece. The number on the field must be the same or higher than the number played.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.3/5 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.
