Universe
It takes two to tango, but only one dancer will stand tall in this trick-taking game for two players! In Tango, players play cards (both from their hand and from their face-up display), in order to perform the best possible dance steps.
Plan ahead as best you can, but remember your opponent knows some of the steps you will take! Will you be named lord or lady of the dance?
Gameplay
Each player takes 2 Rose tokens and places them face down in front of them. They also take their 2 scoring cards, to be kept aside for later. One player is then designated as the dealer: they will lead the first trick… and start the dance!
In each trick, every player first plays a card from their hand, then one of the face-up cards in front of them. In other words, four cards are played in each trick: two from the hands, two from the visible cards on the table. The game continues in this manner until all ten tricks have been played. At the end of the round, players score points based on the cards they won during the tricks. To win a trick, you must play the highest-value card that matches the suit of the first card played.
The first player to collect two Roses wins the game!
NOTE: This new edition is identical to the first version of Tango, but comes in a more compact box.
