Description

Da Gumbo Wars is a new, fun way to spend your family get togethers and parties with friends! This game, similar to a classic game of poker, is very easy to learn and even features the delicious theme of Gumbo! Gumbo is a dish originating from South Louisiana, in the creole and cajun cultures. Just like the best friend groups, gumbo has a diverse mixture of ingredients, all leading up to a savory meal that is sure to keep everyone happy. Get involved with the gumbo making process through our game, where you and family/friends have to compete to make the best gumbo, using the ingredients cards in a "Da Gumbo Wars" deck. Chance may be your friend playing this game, as each game is based on drawing good ingredients and discarding bad ingredients, all in the effort to get the most "Flavor" points. Order a copy now, and get in on the action with this Louisiana-based game, Da Gumbo Wars!

How To Play:

When you get your deck, you will have 53 total cards for use in the game. This game requires at least 2 players and works well up to 4 people. The hook box which the game comes in is designed to be reused and store your cards, so store after unwrapping the cards. Here's how the game works -

STEP 1: Shuffle the deck. STEP 2: Select a dealer, that person deals 3 cards to each player. STEP 3: Start the game. Each turn, going counter clockwise from the dealer, each person draws a card. Hand size can be no greater than 5, so discard one if you have more than 5. STEP 4: At any point during the game, a player can discard a card in their hand for a new card from the deck, but ONLY ONCE! Also, at any point, a player can play a Cajun Card. STEP 5: End the game after four turns. Everyone reveals their cards and counts their flavor points, the highest wins!

Other Rules: *Cajun Cards only take effect if they are shown to the other players before the end of the game. Place it down to use it.

*Everyone must know when the game is ending so they can play Cajun Cards and use their free discard.

*You must discard for hand size AFTER your hand is greater than 5 cards, not before.

Card Types:

Ingredients (Vegetables, Spices, Meats, Roux and Water)

Cajun Cards (Six people which act like effect cards)
