...The game brief overview: "Ello" is a two-player game played with a standard 52-card deck, where each player starts with 26 cards. The game assigns values to only four cards in the deck. In each turn, players alternate, placing one card face-up. The objective in each round is to play a card that exceeds the value of the first card played. If it doesn't, the player loses that round and collects all the cards played. The winner initiates the next round by dealing and placing a new card down. Contrary to many traditional card games where accumulating cards is beneficial, "Ello" challenges players to do the opposite. The first player to rid themselves of all their cards wins. We have: - Game brief. - A wee demo video of the phy...
