Poof the Game is a family friendly card game designed for all ages and types of gamers. It is easy enough for children to play with friends or parents but also a great casual game to enjoy with more seasoned gamers as it features elements of strategy not found in most well-known card games. The goal is simple: get rid of all your cards before your opponents do. Be careful, the cards you have at the end of a round will add up until the game is over! But what's a game without a twist?! Wait until the time is right to make the cards go poof...make your move...get the upper hand. Short-script gameplay: Players play cards equal to or lower than the player before them in clockwise rotation until they run out of cards. All the cards left in a player's hand at the end of a round get added up to their total score and the person with the lowest score at the end of 7 rounds wins the game. Sounds simple enough, right? Wrong! There are hidden cards in a player's hand that aren't revealed until the card on top of them has been played. There is also the magic of the "POOF!" Whether it's a Poof card or playing a 4 of a kind, players have the opportunity to re-set the cards in the playing area and start over with any number they'd like!
