Prout

PROUT is a fast, fun, and strategic discard game designed for 2 to 5 players, with rounds lasting around 5 minutes. The main goal is to get rid of all your cards (both hand and draw pile) while collecting as few penalty points as possible. The core mechanic revolves around placing numbered cards onto three central piles that act as “posts.” The game is spiced up with special cards: **“UNICORNS”** act as wild cards, and **“INTOX”** cards trigger various effects after the player makes a *mouth fart noise*. Three **Special Moves** — the *Flip*, the *Three of a Kind*, and the *Straight* — let players speed up the game and play multiple cards in a single turn, adding elements of memory and tactics. On their turn, a player must place one card from their hand onto one of the three piles. The piles act as “posts,” and the card played must logically fit in value between the visible cards on the adjacent piles. —description from the designer
