Ultimatch*

Ultimatch is a cooperative card game for 1 to 5 players: you match cards by number and colour together and climb your way up a pyramid.

What is it about?

In Ultimatch you work as a team. You make clever matches by number or colour. Do you use one card or two? Add or subtract? Mix colours, say yellow and blue into green? A perfect match of both number and colour is a true Ultimatch.

How it plays

  1. Build the pyramid from cards.
  2. Make matches by number or colour.
  3. Silently trade one card with a teammate.
  4. Clear the whole pyramid this way.

What it offers

  • Both public and private cards
  • A quiet trade with push-your-luck
  • Very short games of about 20 minutes

Who is it for?

For 1 to 5 players aged 10 and up, best at two. The weight of 1.2 is very light and quick to explain.

Conclusion

If you enjoy brisk family games with a small mental twist, you will have fun. If you want more depth, reach for something bigger.
