What to Expect
In 08/15, players race in real-time to collect sets of cards from three numbers (0, 8, 15) in nine colors. Everyone simultaneously tries to match the face-up 0 and 15 cards to their own face-down 8 cards, quickly forming complete sets. The game is short and hectic, with decks depleting fast and players needing quick reactions.
Who Is This Game For?
This game is suited for families and casual players aged 6 and up who enjoy fast, simple card games. With a 10-minute playtime, 08/15 works well for quick sessions or as an introduction to card games. No prior experience is needed, but good reflexes help.
How It Works
08/15 combines Set Collection with Simultaneous Action Selection. Each player receives face-down 8 cards, some of which are revealed. Two shared face-up piles contain 0 and 15 cards. Players try to match these 0 and 15 cards to their own 8 cards to complete sets and score points. The game ends once all decks are depleted.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Tony Richardson, 08/15 stands out as an abstract real-time card game with simple rules. Its mix of Set Collection and simultaneous play creates a fast and engaging experience, different from typical turn-based card games.
