CollectO! — Collect fast, play smart, shout first
CollectO! is a lively card game where every move counts and the tension keeps building until the very last card. Race to gather one of two winning combinations, using action cards to twist the game in your favor and throw your opponents off track.
How it works
Shuffle the deck and place it face-down in the middle of the table. Each player starts with 2 cards, and 3 cards are revealed to form an open row. On your turn, either add a card to the open row or play an action card — as long as you hold fewer than 7 cards, you can draw from the deck or take from the open row.
Action cards
- Joker — stands in for any card
- Thief — steal a card from an opponent
- Penalty — force an opponent to draw an extra card
- Exchange — swap cards with another player
- Defense — shield yourself from other action cards
- Peek — look at an opponent's hand
Goal: be the first to collect either four cards of the same number or five cards of the same color.
Closing a round
Once you're one card away from winning, shout "O!" and reveal your hand. The other players get one last chance to close their own hand before the round ends. The game continues until a player reaches an agreed point total — ties are settled with an extra round.
