Panika, the connected card game that raises the tension
Panika is a card game published by Amigo, designed by Haim Shafir (also the creator of Halli Galli). Its originality: the game comes with a free companion app that acts as both timer and trigger. Players must shed their hand and personal draw pile as quickly as possible, while interacting with the app on every card played.
How to play Panika
Each player starts with a personal draw pile and a small hand of cards. On their turn, they play a card and must perform the associated action on the app — usually tapping a digital counter a set number of times. The counter can "burst" at random: if this happens during your action, you receive a penalty (extra cards to pick up). Some special cards let you reverse the turn order, skip a turn, or force another player to interact with the counter.
