About this board game

Nuts a GoGo! is a set collection game for 2–5 players that takes about 30 minutes to play. In this re-release of MADA HAiLE, players grab game pieces, build a personal stash, and try to remain in the game longer than everyone else.

The game unfolds in distinct phases. First, players collect pieces and place them in their individual stashes. Then, players take turns naming and showing one piece from their stash, creating the focus for the next round of discards.

  • Players grab game pieces and place them in a personal stash.
  • One player at a time names and shows a piece from their stash.
  • All players discard one piece of the named type, if they can.
  • Any player unable to discard that type is eliminated.

After each reveal, every player must respond by discarding one piece of the named type. The requirement applies to all players, so a piece that seemed useful in a stash can become essential to survival when its type is called.

If a player cannot discard a piece of the named type, that player is eliminated from the game. The remaining players continue naming, showing, and discarding pieces until only one player remains.

The last player still in the game wins. With its combination of set collection, personal stashes, required discards, and elimination, Nuts a GoGo! presents a clear contest of survival for groups of two to five. The game was released in 2021 and is also known as ナッツアゴーゴー.
