From BoardGameGeek
Orb or Void is an exciting team-based game of strategy and perception, inspired by a classic Persian game (known as gol ya pooch - گل یا پوچ). In Orb or Void, you must find the Orb hidden in the opposing team's hands within a preset time. You can void hands you believe are empty and/or use help cards. If you fail to find the Orb, the opposing team earns 1 point. If you find the Orb, you take it for the next round but earn no points. However, if you find the Orb in a one-shot guess, you gain 2 points and the Orb. Once a team passes 8 points, they enter the Super Orb Round. The team that wins this final round and earns the last point becomes the game's winner. Perfect for families, friends, and parties. Designed for 2-8 players, ages 7+, each round is filled with quick thinking, teamwork, and thrilling reveals. -description from the publisher
