Quick, light, teasing, a little lucky

About this game

Ipso is a small card game in which everyone builds a pyramid of face-down number cards and hopes their rows end up ascending. On your turn you take one of the two open cards, slot it into your pyramid in place of one of your own, and push the displaced card back into the middle for the next player.
