It is the thought that counts... or not!
The players give, open, and store their gifts. Over the course of the game, each player will work toward building a grid of 12 KADO cards organized into 3 lines and 4 columns. Players score points according to the value, gift type, and ribbon color of each card. The player with the highest score wins the game.
A game consists of 12 rounds.
At the beginning of each round, each player receives a new KADO card, which they can use to build their grid. They can challenge the giver (or not) by guessing his/her card and trying to get a better one. Then they place their final card on their grid, placing it in the best way to optimize their points.
In more detail:
Cards have three characteristics: a value from 1-5, a ribbon in one of five colors, and one of five objects. Players take turns being the giver, and when you are the giver, you draw a card, look at it in secret, then give it to someone face down; this player can look at their card.
Once you have given everyone (including yourself) a card, the player to your left can try to swap gifts with you. If they want to, they name a color and object; if either of them match the gift you gave yourself that turn, you must swap cards, then everyone adds their card to their display. If they fail to name either your gift's color or object, the next player can try. (If someone guesses both color and object, they receive a face-down card as a 2-point bonus at game end.)
After twelve rounds, everyone will have twelve cards in a grid that is three rows tall and four columns wide. If all the ribbons in a column are the same color, you score points equal to the highest value in that column. For each row, choose an object in that row, then sum all of the values on cards that show that object.

And that's it for today! Let's thank the Lumberjacks Studio team, Antoine Bauza and the developer Moof for making this available on Board Game Arena!
See you on Wednesday for another release, but until then...
Take care and play fair!
