The Cardistry Game is a last man standing card game where you’ll be strutting your stuff with cardistry moves to stay in the game. Fall flat on a cut? Say goodbye to some of your precious cards. Run out of cards? Well, it’s game over for you, pal. The last one sitting at the table with cards remaining is the champ.
Perfect for your jam sessions, Discord hangouts, conventions, or just training and messing about!
How it Works
Start off with one Cardistry Game Deck, but each player also needs their own deck to show off their skills.
First, you flip a card from the game deck face up and perform the flourish it displays (think Two Handed Cuts, Fans, Productions). Easy peasy, right?
Then, the next player drops a new game card and has to perform a flourish for every face-up card. Keep this up until you have 3 piles.
Once those piles are set, the next cards are stacked on top. Everyone performs the move shown on the top of a pile. Just remember, you’re limited to 3 moves – don’t get too cocky!
IF you mess up a cut from the top of any packet, you’re in for a shock: remove 4 playing cards from your performing deck for every game card in that packet. So if the packet has 5 cards, that’s 5 x 4 = 20 cards gone. Ouch!
No cards left? You’re out. The last player with cards still in play takes home the bragging rights.
