Retro Loonacy

About this board game

Retro Loonacy is a rapid-fire card game for 2–5 players that takes about 10 minutes to play. Players race to be the first to empty their hand by matching images on their cards with images on open piles in front of them.

Every card presents two images, giving players opportunities to match either one with the images showing on the open piles. The number of piles in play varies according to the number of players, so the table setup changes as the player count changes.

• Players: 2–5
• Play time: about 10 minutes
• Core mechanic: match one of two card images with an open pile
• Objective: be the first player to empty your hand

The action in Retro Loonacy continues as players look for matches and play cards onto the available piles. If the game reaches a moment when no one can play, everyone draws a card at the same time, adding it to their hand before play resumes.

Released in 2015, Retro Loonacy focuses on quick decisions, visible image matching, and a straightforward race to get rid of your cards. Its simultaneous draw rule keeps the game moving when no matching play is available, while the changing number of piles accommodates games with different numbers of players.
