Description

--- Splito is a fast-paced drafting card game for 3-8 players emphasizing strategic alliances and betrayal through card placement. Key mechanics include: - *Drafting placement* Each turn, players select an Objective or Value card from their hand of 13 and place it between themselves and their left or right neighbor. - *Zone objectives* After 13 rounds, evaluate Objectives in each inter-player zone, including two common Objectives revealed at the start that apply to fulfilling zones. - *Multiplicative scoring* Player score is calculated by multiplying points from their left zone by points from their right zone. - *Balanced alliances* Players must cooperate with both neighbors to complete objectives while maneuvering to maximize personal score and win alone. Splito is a competitive card game for 3-8 players that revolves around a drafting mechanic where each participant starts with 13 cards and, over 13 rounds, chooses either an Objective or Value card to position between themselves and either their left or right neighbor, fostering temporary alliances. At game's end, players assess the Objectives within each pairwise zone between players, incorporating two publicly revealed common Objectives that award points to qualifying zones. Victory hinges on the sole highest score, derived from multiplying the points earned in one's left zone by those in the right zone, demanding players delicately balance contributions to both adjacent areas to optimize this product while outmaneuvering opponents. ---
