As soon as you try the game, one thing is clear: there are countless ways to make 9! The cards are undeniably a pleasure to handle; it is great fun putting "all our eggs in one basket"… and doing sums with a mischievous twist!
"What's New?" can be played solo (as a form of solitaire) or by up to nine players (9, of course!). Several sets of rules are available, with levels that increase in difficulty according to each player's age and knowledge. Even the most proficient players will find plenty to enjoy. Originally created to reconcile students disengaging from school with arithmetic, the game's basic principle is reminiscent of several traditional card games, such as Uno or Crazy Eights, Mistigri or Pouilleux, Kems or Quems. Original cards such as the Rooster, Chick, Easter Egg, Hen and even Snakes introduce new features, adding a delightful twist to the game and allowing players to interact. With all these additions, the game becomes strategic, collaborative, adaptable and… addictive!
