MANTIS from the team behind the hilarious party game Exploding Kittens, is a cornucopia of quick, colourful card play!
There are only two rules in MANTIS; steal or score. Players take it in turns to draw the top card off the deck. The back of each card shows a rainbow plus 3 colours (including unique symbols).
The fronts show a Mantis Shrimp in one of those colours. Without looking at the front, the active player chooses whether to score one of those 3 colours from the cards in their collection or (2) steal a card from an opponent. If scoring, the colour must match a suit already present in your collection. If it does, all those cards get flipped over to the rainbow side and placed underneath your collection. If you lucked out, the card is added to your collection for future scoring (or stealing!). If stealing, the colour must match cards in your opponents collection. When you get a match, you get to add those cards to your own collection. But when it doesnt, that opponent gets to keep that card for themselves.
MANTIS is a super easy to learn, fast playing, fun card game for all ages.
If you like quick push your luck games with masses of player interaction that are an absolute feat for the eye, this is a game for you!
