GALO társasjáték

Angol leírás

Many card games are about who gets the best cards — Just get an Ace, and boom, you win: all luck, no brain power! Low-ranking cards like 2,3 often have no impact to the outcome of game. GALO breaks these paradigms by making the ranking circular: weaker card(s) are given the special power to defeat ONLY the stronger card(s) of the game

Game has 30 playing cards: 15 BLUE & 15 YELLOW cards.
Each color has 10 Number cards, 4 POWER Cards and a "?" card

Strength of cards is listed below (in the increasing order):
WHITEHOLE* < MOON** < “?” < 1..10 < SUN** < BLACKHOLE*

Numbered cards have STARS (+1 Point each) & VOLCANOES (-1 Point each)
“?” is multi-purpose card: make it as 15 playing card, OR convert to a brand-new Power Card
POWER Cards SUN&MOON, BLACKHOLE&WHITEHOLE are the real game changers.While they don’t carry any points, their powers will help you win the game.

BLACKHOLE: (Card text: Pass Strongest Card)
Opponent(s) has to either defeat it, OR Play their Strongest card. Can be defeated only by WHITEHOLE
SUN: (Card text: Pass Maximum STAR card)

Opponent(s) has to either defeat it, OR Play their maximum STAR card. Can be defeated only by MOON and BLACKHOLE
LUNAR MOON: (Card text: SUN IS SCARED OF ME…HAHAHA)

Second Weakest card of the game, but it has the special Power to defeat SUN (just like MOON causes Solar eclipse).
LUNAR WHITEHOLE: (Card text: BLACKHOLE IS SCARED OF ME…HAHAHA)

Weakest card of the game, but it has the special Power to defeat BLACKHOLE

ESSENTIAL RULES:

Make separate deck for each color. Each color cards to be distributed equally among players.
Start the game by playing hand card or face-up card (BLUE or YELLOW). All other players have to play same color card
Player with stronger card wins; keeps the trick aside. Starts next round.
After playing face-up card, turn over the facedown card under it
Game continues until players have played all their cards
SCORING: #Rounds won + #Stars – #Volcanoes (Tie-breaker: Last Round). Player with highest score is the winner. In case of tie, player who has won last round of the game will be the winner.
For 6 players, 2 GALO boxes will be required. Both blue and yellow decks will have 30 cards each. If strongest card in a round is played by two players, the one who played it first will be the winner

GALO has Plug & Play Design that lets you start simple and level up as you go. New to cards? No problem — start without any power cards. Later, add one pair, and finally ALL of them!
