What to Expect
In 12 Suit, players use instruction and answer cards to respond to the previous player's move. Each player starts with six instruction and six answer cards. Turns proceed clockwise, with players trying to play answer cards that match the instructions. If unable to play, the player draws cards and passes. The first to empty their hand wins, making for quick and tactical rounds around 15 minutes.
Who Is This Game For?
Designed for families and casual players aged 8 and up, 12 Suit offers simple rules and short games. It requires no prior experience and suits those looking for quick, accessible gameplay sessions with light strategy.
How It Works
Players receive instruction and answer cards. On your turn, you play an answer card as directed by the prior player's instruction card. If you cannot play, you pass and draw one card from each deck. Then you select an instruction card from your hand to pass to the next player. The goal is to be the first to discard all your cards.
