kuuduk (2003)

About this game

In the game of kuuduk, the object is to be the first player to spell out the word k-u-u-d-u-k by laying down 6 lettered cards, connecting them by color or by number. Simple enough, right? Don't be too sure! As the game progresses, the frenzy builds as players turn on one another discarding switch and swipe cards. No play is ever safe, because in kuuduk, what goes around definitely comes around!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 8.
• Rules load. At 1.4/5 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.
