Rainbow (FR)

*French version

Rainbow (FR) pulls you into a race for colours that's easy to learn and hard to master. On every card, a mischievous unicorn illustrated by Sai Beppu proudly shows off its value, from 1 to 6, wrapped in rainbow colours. In the middle of the table sits a row of coveted scoring cards. On your turn, you play a single card, a matching pair, or a run from your hand: the stronger your combination, the earlier you get to claim your prize among the scoring cards. Here's the catch: the cards you just played don't disappear, they become the new scoring cards for the next round, ready to fall into your opponents' hands. This hand management game forces you to weigh every move: playing too strong today can feed your rivals tomorrow. With rounds that wrap up in about 30 minutes and a pocket-size box, Rainbow quickly becomes the game you bring everywhere, from family dinners to the cottage.

Rainbow is for you if you enjoy card games that play fast but reward slow, careful thinking. If you love hand management mechanics where every card counts twice, and reading your opponents' intentions matters as much as protecting your own hand, this little game will win you over. It's also perfect for ever-changing groups, ages 8 and up: with 2 to 6 players, everyone at the table can jump in without sitting through an endless rules explanation.

Rainbow belongs to Allplay's Tiny Box collection, games built to travel light: the box fits in a pocket, and the 60 cards inside are enough to fuel dozens of games. Its ever-renewing scoring twist, where the cards you play become next round's prize, is the signature that sets Rainbow apart from classic trick-taking games.

The game is designed by Japanese game designer Mito Sazuki, with colourful illustrations by Sai Beppu, before being adapted and brought to the North American market by Allplay.
