Fabio Del Rio was part of the CSE Games booth and showed me an exclusive look at his games 10 Down and Loud About at Toy Fair NY. In the video Phabio demonstrates how to play both games which are really cool by the way!
ABOUT 10 DOWN:
Release date: July 2015 (designs subject to change)A modern twist on Rummy, 10 Down is an exciting and elegant new card game with a classic feel.
Players are dealt 10 cards each; on their turn they can swap one card at a time. Object #1 is to create a full run from 1 to 10 (1, 2, 3… to 10), that’s a 10 Down! Object #2 is to create a mini color run (ex. 7, 8, 9 turquoise) for bonus tokens. First to 10 points wins.
The struggle is to decide when to call your 10 Down hand. Call it once you complete your run? Or press your luck to build a stronger color run? Keep in mind you never know when someone else is going to call. How long can you hold off?
ABOUT LOUD ABOUT:
Release date: July 2015 (designs subject to change)Loud About is a fast-paced party game of “action memory” that will make you and your friends do and say wild and hilarious things. It’s ideal for both family parties and late-night shenanigans. Players must select actions and words to be loud about. The goal is to quickly ACT OUT and SHOUT OUT those actions and words faster than your opponents.
Loud About is a new twist on the classic kid’s game Menagerie from the UK.
In each round of Loud About, a Topic Card is drawn, for example “Dance Moves”. Everyone at the table then chooses a dance move and an action based on that dance move. The key is to remember everyone else’s dance move and action.
On their turn, each player flips a card from the top of the deck, if the symbol matches with someone else card, a Face-Off occurs. In the Face-Off, the player who calls out and acts out the “dance move” of their opponent first, wins the card as a victory point. The player to collect the most victory cards wins the round.
