Cahoots

Silently steer four card piles toward shared goals before the deck runs dry.

A cooperative card game about silent teamwork. You all play cards onto four piles, matching colour or number, while chasing shared goal cards like 'make every pile purple' or 'all piles add up to ten'. The catch: you can't tell teammates what's in your hand.

Who it's for

Families and groups who enjoy cooperative puzzles and the challenge of communicating without revealing their cards.

Not for you if…

You dislike co-ops where a bossy player can quarterback, or you want deep strategy. It is light, and repeat goals can start to feel similar over many plays.

Vibe's take

Gentle cooperative tension where you nudge and hint at your hand without ever naming a card.
