Oh My Socks!*
* 
Oh My Socks! is a quick set-collection card game for 2 to 5 players from Helvetiq, playable from age 6. Socks come in twos, yet one always vanishes in the wash. Collect the best pairs before the wash cycle begins.
What is it about?
Only complete pairs count: if you hold an odd number of socks in one pattern, the leftover scores nothing. Whoever owns the most even sets at the end wins.
How it plays
- Draw two cards.
- Add one to your collection and apply its effect, such as gifting or stealing a sock.
- Pass the other card to a neighbour, following the arrow's direction.
- The moment the Washing Machine card appears, the game ends at once.
Little tricks
- The super sock is a wild card and fits any set.
- The gift icon forces you to slide a face-down sock to a player.
- The lifesaver icon lets you swipe a sock from someone else.
Who it's for
A short 15 minutes, simple rules, and a dash of mischief: ideal for families with younger children and as a light closer.
Conclusion
A charming, fast little game with a cute theme and just enough meanness to keep adults grinning too. Too shallow for tacticians, but a bullseye for the family table.
