Chaos (2010)

About this game

From the Publisher “You must have Chaos within you to give birth to a dancing star.” – Friedrich Nietzsche “In all Chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order.” – Carl Gustav Jung In this card game, you need to collect sets of 3 identical Spectrum cards and place them on the table. Or collect the set of 3 Order cards and keep it in your hand until the end of the round. You need to avoid the 4th Spectrum card that matches a set you have placed on the table or the 4th Order card if you have the other 3. Also, avoid holding a Chaos card at the end of the round. On your turn you can seek a card, trade a card or declare a battle. You can't hold Order cards while holding a Chaos card. If you discard a Chaos card, all hands are rotated among players until the discarding player calls Stop! Well, the title does say "Chaos".

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 5.
• Rules load. At 2.1/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
