Hikayat

Al-Kisah, meaning 'The Story' in Arabic, is a highly competitive 18-card game that showcases a diverse array of folklore, fairytales, and stories from various cultures. Each deck in the game focuses on a specific culture, featuring unique characters and narratives. The scoring system is heavily based on the characters and stories within these folklore. The objective is to accumulate the highest score. Players will gain points from the cards in the shared tableau that match the suit of their hand cards at the game's conclusion. This not only requires strategic thinking, but also provides the ultimate proving ground for players to demonstrate their adaptability and foresight through card placement and hand management. —description from the designer
