Mantis
Flip a card and gamble on whether it steals from a rival or scores for you.
Who it's for
Families and mixed-age tables wanting a quick, colorful filler with a mischievous take-that streak. Plays well right up to six.
Not for you if…
You dislike luck swings or being targeted. A well-timed steal can wipe out a promising tank, and there is little you can do to prevent it.
Vibe's take
Light, mean, and constantly swingy, with loud table moments when a big steal lands. Reading probabilities matters more than it first looks.

About this game
A fast, bright little card game with two moves: steal a matching set from an opponent, or score cards face down into your own pile. Each card has one color on its back and two possible colors on its front, so you are always gambling on which way it flips. First to ten scored cards wins.
