Twogether Studios Illimat Card Game Second Edition

We've purchased copies for ourselves and others. The game is complicated enough that you can strategize well and get the satisfaction of a big move, but newer or younger players can also just match cards and enjoy the whimsical look of the game. I really like the playful, mystical feel. The pieces are high quality, and it's wonderful that it all packs into a small box.

This is one of the most amazing card games you'll ever play - totally worth buying, sharing, and customizing! It's very much "A Modern Classic Card Game" as it's described. Illimat's simple card play makes it easy to pick up on and is incredibly reminiscent of old card games you might've played with your grandparents when you were a kid - but it's also got a ton of fun aspects that throw some incredibly interesting, often frustrating twists and turns which add a real sense of challenge to the game. I first heard of the game back when they had a kickstarter for it - partially developed by my favorite band, The Decemberists, I ultimately waited until the full game was out to end up purchasing it (though looking back now, I wish I had backed the kickstarter for that bonus content!). Despite that, I fell head over heels with this game. It's incredibly fun to learn how to play, the variants and the expansions make it all the more interesting, and the lore behind the game is second to none. It's very hard putting into words how the game is exactly played, but I've turned multiple friends on to this game, and it's an absolute blast to play. I bring it every time we get together.

This is a fun and attractive game. I played it once with people and wanted it. It is a little confusing at first but the overall gameplay is pretty simple. I will say that it is confusing to explain how to play. A great card game that looks cool and has an awesome origin story

Fun game for our family of 4. Easy to learn and the right amount time to play. Well designed and beautiful game.

Our old family heirloom version of this game was recently destroyed in a suspicious fire. We suspect the perpetrator was a member of a secret society whose goals are in direct opposition to our own. But I digress. While the modern version of this game doesn't sport the Okus tokens handed down through the generations, nor the luminary cards hand-painted by Dali; but, the components included are beautiful none-the-less. A quality cloth mat, sturdy (and well printed) playing cards, and luminaries that are similar to cards from the tarot, not to mention odd little knickknacks to use as Okus offerings. All stored in a box that's easy to pick up and go when being followed. I obviously don't have to say much about the actual game play. Everyone has no doubt played this centuries old card game. The rules are the same, and it's as simple to pick up and learn as expected. Even after many games played throughout the decades, I am still picking up nuanced strategies and tactics to this very day.

This has become a go to for our family. Easy to learn and quick to play. There are fun expansions available as well.

We absolutely love this game! We started playing over Christmas break and have enjoyed. The only bummer is that our cards have already started to separate (two weeks of playing on and off). We were hoping to gift the game out to others but are reluctant with ours already falling apart.

This game is so fun and I also love that it is decorative. I don't mind leaving it out after I play because it looks so good with rest of my interior lol. I highly recommend for people who like Settlers of Catan, but want something a bit more witchy and/or stylish. The game is a bit slow in the beginning for beginners so I do not recommend playing this with friends who don't like board games. It takes a captive crew to pick up even though the instructions are easy. Definitely not for the Uno crowd.

The basic game is very good, and suitable for players of many ages. It demands strategic and sequential thinking, as well as pattern recognition and arithmetical skills. Kids and adults alike will enjoy the play! I also really appreciated the expansion. Our family plays this game regularly, ever since we bought it. You don't need to be a fan of the Decembrists (music band) to understand the play or appreciate the tie-ins to the concept-album to enjoy this novel card-game!

I love the art and design behind this game. It's really easy to teach to others.

Es de los mejores juegos de mesa que tengo, es dinámico, estratégico, rápido y fácil de aprender.

I'm always searching for a game that is just as fun for two players as it is for more - this is that game! A really interesting twist on a card game, has elements of Hearts or Gin Rummy. My only con would be that it does take a decent amount of table space - it's not as travel-friendly or bar-friendly as Crib, our go-to travel game. Definitely recommend!

Small learning curve; but once you get the hang of it, its extremely fun and easy. Great game for friends and family.
