About the game
Collide-O! is a fast-playing game in which players race to put down all of their cards by matching two colored sections of the card being played to either card at the end of the line. As each card is played, the possibilities of what can be played change, so being fast is important. Because of the multicolor sections on many cards, there are numerous combinations, so flipping your cards over to check whether either side can match is advantageous.

Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Collide-O! is 20 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Collide-O! for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Collide-O! has a complexity rating of 1.2 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
