Greedy Goose^*

Greedy Goose is a quick push-your-luck card game from Amigo for ages 8 and up, played in about 20 minutes. You flip cards and grab as many snacks as you can, but get too greedy and you lose what you are already holding.

What's it about?

All cards are spread face down: number cards 1 to 4 (the 3s come in green and yellow) plus twelve action cards. Everyone starts with three cards in hand.

How it plays

1. Flip a face-down card.
2. If two identical cards are now face up, your turn ends and you must take all face-up cards.
3. Otherwise, choose: flip another card, stop and collect all face-up cards, or end your turn and leave them for the next player.
4. Action cards let you steal a card from an opponent or give them one of yours.

What makes it special?

The catch is the hand limit: if you ever hold more cards of one type than its number, all of them are removed from the game. A second 1 — gone! More than three green 3s — gone! At the end a 1 scores three points and every other card one.

Who is it for?

Families and casual groups looking for a short, sneaky luck-pushing filler.
