Velonimo*
Velonimo is a card game that immerses players in the intense struggle of the animal world for the coveted "petits pois-carottes" jersey awarded to the best climber. Players race to the top, aiming to accumulate points and win the hidden jersey by getting rid of all their cards first.
The game consists of five rounds, each representing a climb up a different mountain peak. Players score points based on their finishing position, and the player with the highest score at the end of the final round wins the jersey and the game.
Nominated for 1 award.
