About this board game

Easy Peasy is a fast card game for 2–6 players that plays in about 15 minutes. Across three rounds, players try to get rid of their cards and finish each round with the lowest score.

At the start, some of the cards in front of you are hidden, so you do not know everything you are holding. You must decide whether to take the time to reveal them or continue planning with incomplete information. This creates a constant balance between anticipation and risk.

On your turn, play cards onto one of the two discard piles while following the direction set by the Up&Down card. The direction may require cards to go up or down in value. You can also change the direction when it helps you, potentially slowing down your opponents while improving your own position.

  • Play cards on one of two discard piles.
  • Follow or change the upward or downward direction.
  • Manage cards in your hand and cards in front of you.
  • Choose the right moment to end the round.

The goal is not simply to play quickly. You need to anticipate your actions and find the best moment to clear your cards, including those that began hidden. When you think you have the lowest score, end the round—but be careful, since your opponents may have planned more effectively.

After three rounds, the player with the lowest total score wins. Designed to work with two to six players, Easy Peasy offers a clever, quick experience in every configuration, with hidden information and changing play direction keeping each round engaging.
