Piatnik Nomad board game

The Piatnik Nomad is a card game in which each player receives ten cards and four rows of cards lie on the table. The aim is to place your ten cards wisely at the ends of the rows. Be careful, though: if you add a sixth card to one row, you must take the five cards in that row and receive a penalty point.

At the end of the game, the player with the most oxen loses. The game rewards tactics and attention, as you need to keep track of the rows and judge when a play is safe. It is quick to learn, yet each round remains engaging.

The game won the German "Game of the Year" award in 1994. It is well suited to social evenings with family and friends.
