Description

Wild Weather is a lightweight, portable card game for 2-4 players that plays in 15 mins. Designed as part of the Standing in a Line Design Contest.

The aim of the game is to collect sets of cards that match a given objective card.

Players are dealt a hand of cards - all cards are displayed so all players may see the face in-play and have 4 Seasons - Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall and 4 Colours - Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, plus Symbols that are Black or White.

On a Turn the player Chooses a TYPE (Season or Colour) and an ACTION (Flip Over, Pass-Left, Pass-Right). ALL cards matching the nominated TYPE are affected, in all hands.

Play continues clockwise until any player meets the objective - they take the card and a new Objective is revealed.

Game ends when the 5th Objective Card is won - scores added and winner declared.

The game is also language independent and color-blind friendly.

Quotes (from this video)
  • We just got together at a resort and played games, and I played a ton of games, many of them new to me.
  • So, that's what we have here, some real quick first impressions of a bunch of games.
  • It's an exact mixture of Carcassonne and Labyrinth. Very good.
  • This is a new game from Avalon Hill. It's like dominoes, but with like the most amazing pieces ever. And a lot of math. Pretty good.
  • Strange Slot Simulator is a game in which you are trying to figure out which of six decks is which slot machine by drawing three cards at a time.
  • It's a unique, interesting, fun experience that I don't know that I want to do very often. Such a weird little game.
  • This is a new game from Mighty Boards where we're fighting for area control.
  • really easy game to play. It's really simple and great components.
  • Not sure I'm loving this game, but we'll see.
  • We, uh, lost almost every mission, but we won one glorious victory.
  • Which honestly feels like a little children's roll and write sort of.
  • It's quite boring.
  • area control with a cube tower
  • This one will melt your brain. It is easily the trickiest of the three, but still fun.
  • Chronologics are really good.
  • playing this might be too long if Oh, well, we'll see.
  • So yeah, it's a good way to start the day with a loss.
  • some kind of weird little game. It's weird.
  • It's really fun though, Abroad.
  • Very good area control game from IV Studios where I just got mashed in it, but it was fun.
  • You know what? There's other fun games in this
  • Pretty fun little game. Hot Heads is a little game about flying some weirdly shaped hot air balloons and apparently a lot of candy. Um and not flying too high into the storms or else you bust. Interesting little card game.
  • Knock Knock Out. You play monster cards in the middle of the table and it's not completely random, but it's close. It was a fantastic time. I had a good time playing many of these games.
  • There was a few bad ones in there, but the vast majority of the games I played were fun to very fun. Uh so good time.
  • I'll be reviewing many of these games as the as the weeks go by here.
  • Had a great time at the Future Dice Tower event. Love to see you at one of these.
