Oink Games Scout Strategy Card Game - 2-5 Players
Scout is a ladder-climbing card game from Oink Games where players compete to play the strongest sets of cards without ever rearranging their hand. Each card has two potential values depending on its orientation, and on your turn you either play a set of consecutive numbers or matching values, or you scout by taking a card from the current high set into your hand. Nominated for the 2022 Spiel des Jahres, Scout challenges players to work with the order they're dealt and make smart choices about when to play and when to recruit.

Questions
Can I rearrange my hand during the game?
No. Cards stay in the order you receive them, which is the core challenge of Scout.
How do the dual-value cards work?
Each card displays two numbers, one on each end. The value depends on which way the card is oriented in your hand.
What does scouting mean?
When you scout, you pass your turn and take one card from the current high set into your hand. This lets you strengthen your hand for later rounds.
How many players does Scout work best with?
Scout plays with 2-5 players and works well at all player counts.
