Description
WHAT'S YOUR COSMO?™ card game is a new generation of playing cards with a "cosmic" twist. It's the game with the most games to play! Play all seven. Each game is rated for level of skill and complexity so families can choose the best game to fit their players' skill level.
COSMO 6
Kids favorite COSMO game! Choose the COSMO card with the sign you need to build a winning straight. Make straights (+/- 6 5 4 3 2 1), and win. Great for 2-6 players of all ages. Cosmo 6 is a quick and easy game to play over and over for hours of fun. Ages 8+
COSMO (the original)
The very first game to introduce card enthusiasts to the COSMO deck. The fun circle layout, makes this game a concentration challenge. With Cosmo, players attempt to make triples by placing three same-number cards in a COSMO column. The player who makes the most triple plays, wins. Players can block, add, and withhold their cards to make or prevent winning combinations. Ages 9+
COSMO SOLITAIRE
For one player, the basic format as COSMO (the original) except that making "triples" is an option, but not the only winning strategy. A player wins by playing all cards in the deck. Ages 12+
FINAL DRAW
If you like "21" (the game), you'll love Final Draw. By using both a player's stack of cards and his hand of cards, each player calculates them in an attempt to make their sum equal zero. Using the COSMO's positive and negative number cards, a player can pass, save, and take a final draw to achieve the lowest possible sum. It's a mathematical challenge, sort of "21" with a COSMO integer twist. Ages 12+
EQ
COSMO's editor's choice! For anyone wanting to sharpen or show-off their quick math skills, EQ is the game to choose. Each player has stack cards and four table cards to work from. The first player to use all of his stack cards, wins. The challenge of this game is to cancel your cards (eg. +2/-2) or make a 3-part equation (eg. +6+ -2=+4) with the five positive/negative number cards you have dealt yourself. EQ is the "brain" game. Ages 14+
OVER/UNDER
Attempt to use your letter cards to spell C-O-S-M-O and the trick is the placement of those cards . A card can only be played if it is directly above a LETTER card or directly below a LETTER card. The unique game format requires attention and probability skills. Ages 10+
FLIP
Remember the classic kids' game: "WAR"? This is the "COSMO" version. Two players turn over their deck, one card at a time. The player with the most "FLIPS", wins. Focus and patience is required to win this game. Fun and easy. Ages 8+
