IELLO Allegra board game English-language

Allegra is a fast-paced card game for the whole family in which, as in golf, the aim is to score as few points as possible. Each player starts with 12 face-down cards arranged in four columns and three rows. The cards are numbered from -1 to 11, and the game is played over three rounds. Players draw from the centre and swap cards in front of them, trying to line up three cards of the same value in a row or column.

The rightmost column also belongs to your opponent, which adds an extra layer of strategy. Timing matters too: if you call the count without having the lowest total, your score is doubled.

Suitable for children aged 8 to 10 and up, Allegra is an indoor game that introduces numbers and simple arithmetic in a playful way. This English-language edition is a light, engaging choice for family game nights.
