About this board game
Ultimatch is a cooperative card game for 1–5 players that plays in about 20 minutes. Work together to match cards and make your way up a colorful pyramid, making quick decisions about which cards to use, save, or trade.
Matches can be made by number or color, giving the team plenty of ways to connect cards. Will you use one card or two? Should you try addition or subtraction? You can even mix colors, such as yellow and blue to make green. A perfect match of both number and color creates an exciting Ultimatch and brings extra rewards.
- Cooperative play that keeps the whole team involved
- Public and private cards for shared information and hidden possibilities
- Matching by number, color, addition, subtraction, or mixed colors
- Silent, facedown trading that adds risk and encourages players to read one another
Every player remains engaged through the game’s silent trading choice: exchange one card facedown with another player, or keep what you have for later. Deciding who might know what you need—and whether your own card is more valuable in the future—adds a push-your-luck element without slowing the action.
The turns move quickly, and every successful match feels like a small victory. With its clever decisions, colorful combinations, and team-focused play, Ultimatch offers a lively challenge that invites players to try again whether they win or lose.
