Description

Cards, dice, and backstabbing… Welcome to Kouba, a game of cunning where betrayal and unexpected twists are at the heart of every match! Here, honor has no place—only the most devious, daring, and ruthless players will have a chance to win. In Kouba, players compete in a merciless tournament, where every duel can turn the tide of the game. Roll the dice, use your cards wisely, and trap your opponents before they outplay you. But beware… every defeat earns you a KOUBA, a penalty that brings you dangerously close to elimination. Collect four KOUBAs, and the round ends! It’s time to count victory points and prepare your next strategy. Bluff, manipulate, and betray at the right moment, because here, anything goes! A simple smile can hide a trap, and your “allies” this turn might become your worst enemies in the next. A fun, fast-paced, and ruthless game, perfect for those who love strategy, deception… and especially the thrill of betraying their friends with a smile! So, are you ready to play? Or rather… ready to betray? —description from the designer
