Coloretto Card Games

This is a simple game with a mix of luck and strategy. Quick to play. I dont think Id play it more than twice in a row on any given day. We played both this and Kingdomino today. They are both about the same difficulty and neither one has text. We like this better though. I guess I would say that Kingdomino reminds us a bit of Carcassonne but we like Carcassonne much better. And Coloretto reminds us of Sushi Go but I probably like them equally.

This is a great, quick card game with a lot of strategy. We play it with an 11 and 12 year old and will play it several times in a row in one sitting. Each round I find that I adjust my strategy to see what will earn us the most points. This is one of our favorite little card games to play.

Item is a gift - will be fun at New Year’s.

Really fun game for a wide audience, replay value is only about 200 games for me, after a few seasons of this game youll be bored. But thats great for the price and its simple so anyones kids or parents can join in. Also there is enough to think about so if you really wanna challenge yourself you can keep your card counting skills up.

great game for 2+ people

This game is extremely pleasant to play; quick and visually appealing. IMO, the three player option is best. It takes about 5 minutes to learn and may seem a little dull at first, but the strategy can run deep with lots of jockeying for position, shafting of the leader, and hail Mary passes when all else fails. Enjoy!

Very compact for travel.

Love it. So Simple yet so much strategy.

For one reason this has become my most played game since Ive bought it. It really is the perfect game for new players. The length and complexity, and player count (plays great 2-5) are ideal. Games last 15 minutes or less even when teaching a new player. The strategy is easy to grasp but engaging even for experienced gamers. The strongest quality of the game is its accessibility. I have taught this game to coworkers on my lunch break, my girlfriends cousins at a birthday party, and my gamer friends and the first question after can we play again? Is usually where can I buy this game? This game truly opens peoples eyes to how fun the board gaming hobby can be and they go on to show others too. For that alone I count this as the most vital game in my collection.

Coloretto is a very simple game to set up and learn. At its core its a trick taking game where you place colored cards in different piles and then push your luck by taking these piles at the right time to maximize the number of good cards you are collecting while trying to have your opponent take bad cards. These good and bad cards are determined by the the first three colors you collect (as colors beyond those three actually will count as negative points at the end of the game). What makes Coloretto so enjoyable is that its so easy to pick up and play. Theres enough strategy here for a light filler game to be engaging, but not too much that theres much analysis paralysis. so the game goes along fairly well. Coloretto is a really great intro to the whole concept of trick taking games which along with Cockroach Poker are perfect for younger players. More seasoned players may want to jump ahead to more advanced trick taking games like No Thanks!, Black Spy or Haggis, but Coloretto is a great place to start.
