IPSO Game

In Ipso, players build a pyramid of numbered cards and attempt to form rows of increasing numbers to score the most points. On your turn, take one of the two cards face up in the center and replace a face-down card in your pyramid with it, then put the replaced card face up in the center again. Once all the pyramids are revealed, you can either keep your Star card for 3 bonus points, or discard it to draw one last card and improve your pyramid. Only increasing ranks earn points: mixed color ranks earn 1 point per card, single color ranks earn 2 points per card, plus 1 point per Star and 3 additional points if you kept your Star card. The player with the highest total wins. Average duration of a game: 20 minutes. Number of players: 2 and more (max.6). Recommended for children aged 7, 8, 9, 10, and older.
