SAMÉ: A fast-paced card game of shark attacks, sudden combos, and underwater strategy. SAMÉ is a compact card game using a three-suited deck. Players race to build powerful combos on the table while watching for chances to strike with a shark attack — a surprise move that lets you steal already played cards. Each turn you may also gain a card from a neighbor - but ask carefully or you may be stopped by their secret blocker card. Each turn has 3 phases: Draw – Pull a card and retrieve your blocker. Ask – Request any card from the player to your left. Play – Lay down combos or launch a shark attack if you have an exact match. - Score by forming: Sets (same number, 3+ cards) Runs (same suit, 3+ consecutive numbers) Exact pairs (including shark attacks) Shark attacks let you snatch cards from the table, unless they are protected. End the round at the right moment by calling that s it! — players get one last chance to respond, and whoever has the highest score after resolving shark attacks wins the round. —description from the designer
