Mantis

Mantis — a fast, simple card game that’s a blast with any group, with just enough cutthroat action to keep everyone on their toes.

On your turn, guess whether a card will match one in your tank or steal from another player’s — get it right and you score, get it wrong and your cards go to someone else. It’s simple enough to explain in seconds but creates real tension and plenty of laughs. We have a blast with this one — it’s light, it’s a little cutthroat, and it’s exactly the right kind of fun.
