In 101: le match, you place hidden tiles on a 5x5 grid featuring numbers and colors. You only see the tile backs showing two color choices and five numbers, making deduction key. As the game progresses, guessing becomes easier while you aim to build poker-like combinations in rows and columns. The player with the best combos scores points and wins.
Who Is This Game For?
This game suits families and hobbyists who enjoy abstract strategy with deduction. It's playable solo and for ages 7 and up. The flexible duration requires patience and strategic thinking without prior deep experience.
How It Works
