About this game

Kites hands your team a shared deck and ten frantic minutes to keep every kite climbing at once, playing cards in real time with no turns to hide behind. There is barely a rulebook to speak of, just fast instinct, quick glances at what everyone else is doing, and the shared thrill of watching the whole table's kites soar or tangle together. It is over almost as soon as it starts, win or lose, which makes it perfect for squeezing in right before or after a longer game. Small box, big burst of energy, built entirely around doing things together at the same time.
