About the game
Tiếng Việt ở phần dưới của mô tả* Hội Phố is a quick Vietnamese themed card game for 3-5 players. During the game, players will try to gain Contracts by having the most money each round or by using Merchant’s skills. The first player to gain a required number of Contracts is the final winner. There are 15 merchants (12 merchants in the 2018 version of Hội Phố) with 15 unique skills and 5 Ship Cards. Players play a card simultaneously and compare reputation, the players who have the highest and second highest reputation merchant gain money while the lowest merchant triggers skill. Each round contains 4 turns (Player plays 4 out of 5 cards in hand). In a 5 player game, there are only 3 turns per round. Money and cards in hand are always hidden (unless the player is required to reveal it). Each Turn has the following steps: Put a card facedown - Reveal a card - Resolve and reward After finishing the last turn (the 4th turn in a game of 3-4 players or the 3rd turn in a game of 5 players), the round ends. All players reveal their money and the player with the most money gains 1 Contract card (the top one of the contract deck) Hội Phố là một trò chơi thẻ về văn hóa Việt Nam dành cho 3-5 người chơi.
