About the game
A quick abstract game you can play everywhere. Build a strategy with your ten cards and then you'll play it, without the chance to change it. Everybody has ten cards numbered 1 to 10. In each of the 10 rounds the victory points (same as the round number) are awarded to the player with the highest unique card played. The player with the most victory points wins. The catch is that you have to order your ten cards and then place them in front of you. In every round each player will play the topmost card. You can't change your strategy!

Questions and answers
YOOLOO supports 3–8 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. 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 YOOLOO is 5–45 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists YOOLOO for ages 6 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.
YOOLOO has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
