Odd World
Players draft cards that each show two numbered planets on the front and one of those numbers on the back. On a turn, a player takes the top card from one of two face-down stacks and either keeps it or passes it to another player; the recipient flips the card and adds it to their tableau. Play continues until all cards are claimed or a player holds at least one card of each number from 1–9. During scoring, players examine each numeral: any numeral held an even number of times is discarded, and only cards with odd-frequency numerals count. The player with the most remaining cards wins.

Evan10.0 Terrible game. On your turn you assign a top card to someone. The card could be one of two planets. If at the end of the game players have piles of similar planets with odd numbers, they score them points. If they are even numbers, they don't score. It's like if you wanted to figure out a way to make coin flipping more multiplayer, more swingy, and longer. I don't understand why anyone made this game. In terms of components enough planets look similar, so it can be hard to read someone else's board state if you even wanted to attempt to use strategy in this luckfest. :nostar: Art, Iconography and components functional :nostar: Clever or interesting mechanisms :star: Reasonably low downtime between turns with mildly AP players :nostar: Multiple plays stay interesting :nostar: Low or mitigatable luck elements :nostar::nostar::nostar::nostar::nostar: Raw enjoyment
