Band of Ogres

Band of Ogres is a push-your-luck, set-collection, auction card game with an ogre-musician battle-of-the-bands theme. First players assemble sets of ogre musician cards through Gin Rummy-style set-collection. Then they use a push-your-luck deck in an effort to get as many matches as possible between the push-your-luck cards and their set of ogre musician cards. Then they use the gold they gained through these matches to bid on “Win” cards that provide victory points or special powers. —description from the publisher
