Pocket Madness

Pocket Madness is a board game for 2–4 players. It plays in 30 minutes and is meant for ages 8 and up. Ludoya players call it best with 3. It is rated 5,9 out of 10 by 8 Ludoya reviewers.

A fast-paced card game set in a Lovecraftian world where players evoke Ancient Ones and collect madness. Players start with a small hand and a visible row of numbered cards (6–12) from which they draw, then take turns taking 1–3 cards, opening portals, or launching investigations. To open a portal, a player lays down three or more matching-number cards to claim a portal power; portals grant one-use abilities but can be stolen. To open an investigation, a player discards numbered cards and causes all other players to gain madness tokens based on the number of investigations that round. Rounds end when a player empties their hand or the row runs out; the game ends when a player reaches ten or more madness tokens.
