Cactus King
Players sit around a flamboyant cactus monarch and take turns playing cards to flip its spikes and reveal patches. Cards must be placed strategically to skim off visible sections; collecting the most patches scores points. Gameplay centers on timing and card management as players manipulate the cactus’s spikes, aiming to expose and claim patches before opponents do. Designed for family play with simple rules and quick rounds.
