What is Retro Gaming Cards!

Retro Gaming Cards! is a card game inspired by the aesthetics and functionality of the first 80's PC games. Do you want to know how it works? Keep on reading!

Hand out a Reference card to each player and remove the remaining Reference cards out of the deck. After that, shuffle the deck, hand out every card facing up and making equal rows, and wait for 30s. During this period, players should try to memorize the position of the cards, paying special attention to their patterns and symbols. Once time has passed, turn over the cards in the exact same order.

In their turn, players must take two cards and try to match them according to the rules explained in the Types of cards section. If they can make a pair, players collect both matching cards and put them in their deck. If they can not make a pair, players must leave the cards facing up. In both cases,the turn will pass to the next player. When there are no more pairs to make, the game will be over. The winner will be the player with the biggest amount of cards in his deck after the game has finished!
