JAZZ

JAZZ is a 3- to 4-player cooperative 18-card game. Players take on the roles of a jazz trio or quartet, playing either piano, bass, drums, or the saxophone. JAZZ is equal parts musicality and the ability to read what your bandmates need. It’s a game of give and take, about staying in the pocket at times, laying low during others, and popping sparks of brilliance when the perfect time arises. Players simultaneously choose and play number cards matching their specific instrument. However, cards must be played in a certain manner, according to the instrument and the section of the song the band is playing. Measure your band up to the amount of applause you receive at the end of the night to see how well you do. —description from the designer
