Description

In BAKUT your objective is to gather identical symbol cards and strategically lock your hand to score points. As a player, you must do this without looking at your own cards! The game ends after five hands are locked, and the winner is whoever has gained the most points.

In this game, you’ll unravel the mystery of your own cards by carefully observing the actions of your opponents. Special cards hold the key to crafting valuable sets, giving you an edge in the competition. At just the right moment, you can declare “BAKUT!” to end the round and force everyone to score. Will you risk everything for a shot at high points, or will you play it safe and steadily climb to victory? With points accumulating over multiple rounds, every decision shapes your path to triumph. A clever and entertaining game crafted to keep players hooked from start to finish. It challenges you to master your poker face and outwit your opponents with strategic tricks and deceptions.

Time: 30-40 min

I BAKUT er dit mål at samle kort med ens symboler og strategisk låse din hånd for at score point. Som spiller skal du gøre dette uden at se på dine egne kort! Spillet slutter, når fem hænder er låst, og vinderen er den, der har opnået flest point.

I dette spil vil du afsløre mysteriet om dine egne kort ved nøje at observere dine modstanderes handlinger. Specialkort er nøglen til at skabe den bedste hånd og give dig en fordel i konkurrencen. På det rette tidspunkt kan du erklære “BAKUT!” for at afslutte runden og tvinge alle til at score. Vil du risikere alt for at opnå høje point, eller vil du spille sikkert og stige støt mod sejren? Med point, der akkumuleres over flere runder, former hver beslutning din vej til triumf. Et underholdende hjernevriderspil, der er designet til at holde spillerne fanget fra start til slut. Det udfordrer dig til at mestre dit pokerfjæs og narre dine modstandere med strategiske tricks og bedrag.

Tid: 30-40 min

Bakut is nominated for its extremely understandable rules, and for the ease with which they draw you into your first game- you’re only a few minutes from picking up the game to playing it like a pro. The game itself is very simple, yet gives the player the opportunity to both strategise, sabotage and gamble to win. Bakut’s iconography perfectly displays the action it does, while also being simple and stylish.
