RESEÑA DE COLORETTO
Coloretto es un entretenido e interactivo juego de cartas, que permite reunir de 3 a 5 jugadores.
Es un juego liviano y de ritmo rápido, que permite algunas tácticas que pueden superar una mala suerte inicial.
OBJETIVO

MECANISMO:
Las series de cartas se juntan delante de cada jugador a partir de las cartas jugadas al centro de la mesa por todos los jugadores y que un jugador retira en un momento dado.

Coloretto is quite a nice card game which bends your mind with lots of difficulty choices. It is light in the fact that the rules are simple and straightforward, but challenging in that you find yourself second-guessing yourself constantly, as does everyone. This is a game of woulda shoulda coulda, since no one knows what that pesky deck will turn up next. Both gambling and playing it safe are both viable tactics in Coloretto.

Those looking for a whole lot of depth might consider looking elsewhere, though the colorful Coloretto brings lots of flair and fun in a quick but light package.

This is a fun light card game. The rules are so simple that it can be taught easily and the game can be played by family or by more serious gamers (but make sure you keep score over several rounds to average out the luck factor).

In this game, one tries to collect different colored chameleons. There are 7 different colors of them, but here is the trick. One gets points for their longest three suits collected, but lose points for the other suits. During your turn, you either add a card to a column, or take a column of cards. There are a maximum of 3 cards per column. If you add too much good stuff to a column, it may get taken by someone else, and if you add too much bad stuff to a column, ...Read the rest of this review

Every once in a while a small, unpretentious game will get published that seems underwhelming at first glance but ends up being a true favorite with wide appeal. I, for one, have a hard time finding short (less than 30 minutes) games that I enjoy playing. (I do enjoy a game called For Sale, but it out of print and therefore nearly pointless to recommend since the vast majority of people can't acquire a copy for themselves.) Any game that is short is necessarily not too complicated, and most of the time I feel that the decisions are uninteresting. Thankfully, there are a few exceptions, and Coloretto is the leader of the pack.

The gameplay is very simple. Goal: Get as many cards as you can ...Read the rest of this review
