This year, I really focused on finding new smaller filler and card games, and Surfosaurus Max turned out to be one of the bigger hits of this endeavor.
Each player is dealt a hand of 7 cards. They then take turns playing a single card until everyone has played 2 or 3 cards (depending on player count). Once that is done, all the assembled cards are put together and the best poker (like) hand is assembled from the played cards. Each player then earns points based on the cards they contributed to the ‘winning hand’. It’s fast, it’s light, it’s breezy, and it’s remarkably silly.
Not gonna lie, my favorite design element is the fact that each player has a surfboard. The first player token is a little T-Rex, which happens to fit perfectly on it!
