Fibonachos

Fibonachos is an exciting card game that combines amazing Mexican cuisine with the intriguing world of math and engaging trick-taking gameplay to make something incredibly unique. Created by renowned game designer Jordy Adan, author of games like Cartographers, Stonespine Architects, and Zombicide: Gear Up,  Fibonachos is perfect for anyone who appreciates smart challenges and fun moments at the table.

Two to five players are dealt cards of three different suits, and they must play tricks with suits of the same color. The highest card wins the trick unless the trump cards are activated. This is when things get really hot: the trump cards follow the Fibonacci sequence numbers, and this math sequence could also affect the final score. The final sum of the players’ points may increase depending on whether they hit the Fibonacci numbers, which adds a very important strategic layer to the endgame.

If you don’t remember, the Fibonacci sequence is a numerical series where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones (for instance, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, ...). This concept is ingeniously woven into the game, making it a source of entertainment and a tool for learning. While the objective is to amass the highest score, the strategy involves much more than mere trick-winning, offering a stimulating intellectual challenge. Sometimes, it is better not to win a trick than to try to get an exact Fibonacci number as your total score and get some important bonus points.
