Parcelo

Parcelo is a game anyone (14 and up) can play almost anywhere maybe!

Players are trying to get all six "points" from the top of the tin. First to do so wins! Isn't that great!? Everyone loves a winner I guess. Cards are drawn and placed face-up. Players then draw their own cards. Whoever has the better combination of "operations" between their cards and the face-up cards can win a point. Players can also selectively fold or try and bluff their way to win. Don't worry, the game comes with instructions... but also, a playthrough video is coming soon!

There is a novel gameplay mechanic in Parcelo... and it requires players to exercise some arithmetic! To win points, players must have the stronger "operation" or set of operations. Here's an example round: each player draws two cards. The two dice are rolled and the values are 5 and 2. Player ONE has cards 1 and 3. Player TWO has 4 and 1. Using mathematical operations, players are trying to make relationships between their cards and the dice rolled. Player ONE can subtract 1 from 3 to equal the 2 die. Player TWO can add 4 and 1 to get the 5 die. Since player ONE's Subtraction operation is stronger than player TWO's Addition operation, Player ONE would get the point if both played their cards this round!

Like I said... a playthrough video is in the works!

This version of Parcelo is meant to be highly transportable. There are only 12 numeral cards in the tin. The Game Crafter has a larger tin available, and in the future a version of Parcelo with more numeral cards will be available (but of course, it will come in the larger tin and will be less compact). Since there are only 12 numeral cards in this version of Parcelo, players will have to shuffle the discarded cards deck for reuse frequently. They could shuffle the cards after every round if they like! Or hey, if players are interested in learning some card counting, playing with 12 is a pretty decent starting point!

Peace, luck, rock, and roll that die! - Glenn Caveart
