Become a Circus Director and Star on Game Night! In Scout, you take on the role of a circus director, and the goal is to put together the most spectacular show. The game was nominated for Spiel des Jahres 2022 and is a hit for the whole family.

Game Rules:

Start: All cards are dealt to the players. The order of the cards in your hand does not change during the game.

Your Turn: You have two choices. Either you play cards from your hand, or you go on a "talent hunt."

Playing Cards: You can only play cards that are adjacent in your hand, and they must be in runs or sets.

Talent Hunt: Take one of the two outermost cards from another player's played cards and add it to your hand. That player gets 1 point as a consolation.

Card Flexibility: Each card has two values. When you pick up a card, you can rotate it and place it wherever you want in your hand.

Scoring System: If you successfully play cards, you win your opponent's show as points. The round ends when a player either runs out of cards or no one can beat the last show played.

Who wins? The game continues for as many rounds as there are players. The player with the most points at the end is the winner! So, are you ready to become the best circus director in town?
