IELLO LUZ board game

LUZ is a distinctive trick-taking board game for 3 to 5 players, in which everyone competes to create the most dazzling glass mosaics for the windows of a beautiful cathedral. Its clever twist is that you can see the colour of your own cards but not their exact value, while your opponents know exactly what you hold.

The gameplay centres on calculated risk and tactical planning. Before each deal you must predict how many tricks you will win. Hit your prediction exactly and a generous points reward awaits; miscalculate and valuable points slip away. You will need to draw conclusions from the reactions of the other players and from the cards already played.

The game consists of 4 deals of 10 rounds each, and the tension builds until the very end, since a single well-judged bid can take you from behind to the top of the scoreboard. The box contains 65 cards, 20 glass beads, a scoring pad and a rulebook.
