Ipso (FR)

*French version

Ipso (FR) is a clever card game that is easy to learn yet rewarding to master, where every decision shapes your final score. Players build a pyramid of face-down cards, then gradually replace them using cards from the center. The goal is to create the best possible ascending rows to score the most points.

This family game offers smooth and engaging gameplay built on choice and optimization. On your turn, you take one of the two face-up cards and swap it with a face-down card in your pyramid, revealing your strategy piece by piece. Once placed, a card cannot be changed again, making timing and planning essential.

The core of the game revolves around ascending sequences. Only these rows score: mixed colors give 1 point per card, while single-color rows give 2 points per card. Stars add bonus points, and keeping your Star card at the end can provide a crucial advantage. This logic game rewards both planning ahead and adapting to new opportunities.

You will enjoy Ipso if you are looking for a fast, smart, and accessible board game with meaningful decisions and strong replay value. It works perfectly with families and casual players while still offering depth for more strategic minds.

Interesting fact: the game features a final strategic choice. Once all cards are revealed, you must decide whether to keep your Star card for guaranteed points or discard it for one last turn to improve your pyramid. This risk-reward decision adds tension right to the end.

Designed by Alexandre Droit and published by Gigamic, Ipso showcases clean and colorful artwork by Pierre Bourgain that enhances readability and supports fast decision-making.
