Family playing SETUP | Source: Asmodee

Asmodee is adding another challenging strategy game experience to its catalog, created in partnership with Bezzerwizzer Studio. Based on the popular card game Rummy, SETUP is an exciting, tile-based competition in which players earn points by stacking the most number and suit combinations.

SETUP puts a modern twist on Rummy by replacing cards with vibrant tiles for 2-4 players to battle it out with. Like previous strategy games from Asmodee, such as Timeline and Cosmic Encounter, SETUP puts its players’ brain-power to the test as they make combinations in any direction or stack tiles to throw off opponents. Players can earn points on multiple sets with a single tile placement as it extends in various directions, but players need to strategize so that they don’t help opponents create their own sets. Planning steps in advance makes for an exciting puzzling experience.

Each player gets two bonus squares that only they can place tiles on. Other players can create their own sets using tiles from a bonus square, but then both the tile placer and owner of the bonus square score points. With a quick 25-minute playtime, SETUP turns your next family game night into an intense card game smackdown.

SETUP is available for preorder now for $29.99 with an official launch on April 1.
