Carrossel

Four brothers own an old merry-go-round and work together to sell as many tickets as possible—while secretly competing to see who sells the most by the end of the day!

Carrossel is a charming family abstract strategy game for up to four players, featuring a rotating board and almost zero downtime. Every round, all players act simultaneously: choose, reveal, resolve, and score at the same time, keeping the game fast, smooth, and engaging.

At the start of the game, Client Cards are drawn and placed in front of each ticket booth in sets of three. Each round, players simultaneously choose:

• one Carrossel Card (numbered 1–12), and

• one Carrossel Tile (twelve tiles in four different colors/types, plus two wild tiles).

Tiles are placed on the rotating board according to the chosen card. Players aim to form rows of three tiles that match the corresponding client cards. When a matching sequence is completed, players place client stand-ups to mark the tickets as sold and score those clients.

While it is possible to complete sequences using only your own tiles, most will involve tiles from other players. Smart positioning and timing are crucial—earning more points from shared sequences than your opponents is often the key to victory.

The game also includes four variable endgame objectives, adding replayability and extra scoring opportunities.

The game ends when a player cannot make a legal move or when the client deck runs out. The player with the highest total victory points (clients + objectives) wins.

Accessible, clever, and highly interactive, Carrossel is perfect for families and players who enjoy tactical puzzles with constant engagement.
