📖 About This Game
Shortcut Longcut is a card-based party game for 3-10 players, perfect for college, friends and family gatherings. You can even combine 2 packs to play with up to 20 players.
Players are traveling to a cafe by collecting Travel Cards in every round, and taking Shortcuts and Longcuts to control their speed. The aim is to reach the cafe WITH someone (yes, anyone), rather than reaching first alone. However, players' cards are hidden, so everyone uses vague Status Updates to communicate, leading to confusion and laughter.
Over a set of 5 quick games, the winner is the player who reaches the cafe WITH friends the most number of times. So... Make friends, betray them, even bluff a little... Do whatever it takes to win!
Fun surprise: The comic-style artwork on the cards depicts funny situations on India's roads...like a cow sitting in the middle of the road, or people dancing on the road as part of a marriage procession (baraat). Enjoy!
