What is Scout!

SCOUT is a ladder-climbing game in which cards have two potential values, players may not rearrange their hand of cards, and players may pass their turn to take a card from the current high set of cards into their hand.

More specifically, cards are dual-indexed, with different values on each half of the card, with the 45 cards having all possible combinations of the numbers 1-10. During set-up, whoever is shuffling the cards should randomize both the order of the cards in the deck and their orientation. Once each player has been dealt their entire hand of cards, they pick up that hand without rearranging any of the cards; if they wish, they can rotate their entire hand of cards in order to use the values on the other end of each card, but again they cannot rearrange the order of cards in their hand.

On a turn, a player takes one of two actions:

• Play: A player chooses one or more adjacent cards in their hand that have all the same value or that have values in consecutive order (whether ascending or descending), then they play this set of cards to the table. They can do this only if the table is empty (as on the first turn) or the set they're playing is ranked higher than the set currently on the table; a set is higher if it has more cards or has cards of the same value instead of consecutive cards or has a set of the same quantity and type but with higher values. In this latter case when a player overplays another set, the player captures the cards in this previous set and places them face down in front of themselves.

Los juegos de bazas la verdad que ni me van ni me vienen pero este es tan bueno que se te olvida, funciona tan bien... Para ser de bazas creo que el azar tiene poca cavidad, realmente si te lo montas bien puedes hacer que todas las manos funcionen

Really good filler. Randomness has to be surpassed with a good amount of tactical thinking if your hand allows it.

It's a bit high than the average filler game out there Simple. Does its job. Might work to play between 2 heavy games, or closing a game night *Playing time is not 15min, I'd rather to say 50min at 5 player count

Esp) Gran juego de cartas con motor principal de gestión de mano. Con unas mecánicas muy pulidas y elegantes propone partidas muy dinámicas, épicas y extremadamente divertidas. Funciona mejor en su mayor configuración (a 5 jugadores). Estéticamente resulta muy acertado el estilo minimalista que plantea la editorial, siendo funcional para una rápida y clara comprensión del juego. Pequeño gran juego de cartas que recomiendo mucho!
