Contains: 160 cards Publisher description: Dutch Blitz has developed this expansion that allows you to play with up to eight players. Insane! And, here's the thing. You can play with this New Blue pack, just like Classic Green, with up to 4 players OR combine the two packs to play with 5, 6, 7 or 8 players. Outta control! So, what makes New Blue different? It's simply a reinvention of the Classic Green boxed game that you know and love, with the colours of the four decks' designs (carriage, bucket, pump and plow) switched to enable more players. Yes, it's that simple and that awesome.
