Ipso (EN)

Ipso challenges players to build the most valuable pyramid of number cards by creating ascending rows and maximizing every scoring opportunity. On each turn, you take one of the face-up cards from the center and swap it with a card in your pyramid, constantly improving your position while shaping future options for everyone at the table.

Once every pyramid is revealed, the game introduces one final decision through the Star card. Will you keep it for bonus points or discard it for one last chance to improve your pyramid? This elegant risk-versus-reward choice creates memorable finishes and keeps every game competitive until the very end. Combining card game, family game, board game, light strategy game, and quick game elements, Ipso delivers meaningful choices in a compact playtime.

You will enjoy Ipso if you are looking for an easy-to-learn game that still rewards clever planning and observation. Its short playtime and approachable rules make it ideal for families, casual gamers, and mixed gaming groups.

One of the game's most interesting features is its scoring system. Ascending rows score points, but rows made entirely of the same colour are worth significantly more, creating constant opportunities for optimization and tactical choices.

Designed by Alexandre Droit, Ipso showcases a clean and accessible design philosophy focused on quick decisions, engaging turns, and high replay value.
