Players do this by trading, buying, and jumping with other cards.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003eMonad\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003euses a deck of cards with six colors (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple). Half of these are called \"warm\" colors (red, orange, and yellow), and the others are \"cool\" colors (green, blue, and purple). The majority of the cards have one symbol on them (known as \"regular\"), but there is one card of each color with 2-5 colors on them (known as \"Bis\", \"Tris\", \"Quads\", and \"Quints\"). At the start of the game, each player is assigned one of the six colors as their \"identity\" and is dealt six regular cards and one \"Bonus\" card (which shows three pairs of colors). Bis, Tris, Quads, and Quints are placed face up in separate piles in the middle of the table.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003eOn their turn, a player tries to get cards with higher numbers in their hand. The easiest way is by \"swapping\". To swap, a player turns over a pair of cards with the same number of symbols but in opposite suits (one hot and one cold), and takes the top card from the stack with the second highest number of symbols. When they turn over two fifths, they get a monad. If the two turned over cards match one of the pairs on their bonus cards, they can also draw the top card from each of the bottom stacks. They can also use cards of the same suit as their identity as wild cards, which are treated as having any number of symbols.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe player can discard more than two cards and \"jump\" to a higher stack. This allows them to choose a card with a higher number of symbols. Finally, they can \"buy\" a card. Buying cards uses the numbers on each card. The player discards a number of cards that totals greater than the number on the card they are after. Monads can be purchased for 80 points.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003eA player can also draw the top card from the deck, but this prevents them from taking any other actions on that turn.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe first player to accumulate a given number of monads (which varies depending on the number of players in the game) wins.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable height=\"131\" width=\"482\" style=\"width: 482px; height: 97.969px;\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 299.141px; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e Age\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 166.859px; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e 10+ \u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 299.141px; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e Number of players\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 166.859px; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e 2 - 4 \u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 299.141px; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e Playing time\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 166.859px; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e 45 - 60 \u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 299.141px; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e In-game text\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 166.859px; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e No \u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 299.141px; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e Rulebook\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 166.859px; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e English\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52199378485594,"sku":"52410","price":149.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0622\/6077\/3038\/files\/monad_card_game_kortspil_eagle_gryphon_52410_gamesweb.webp?v=1758192068","url":"https:\/\/www.gamesweb.dk\/en\/products\/monad","provider":"Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
