How does it work?

What kind of game is this?

Bloops is a fast-paced card game where memory is everything. You have six face-down cards in front of you and can only look at three of them at the start. After that, you have to remember what is where.

The goal: have the lowest total at the end. Trade high cards for low ones, use clever effect cards to peek or swap, and shout 'BLOOPS!' at the right moment.

How do you play?

Everyone gets six cards dealt face down in front of them and looks at three of them. After that, you are no longer allowed to look at your cards.

Drawing: you draw a card and look at it.
Keep or discard: you discard it immediately, or you place it in place of one of your own cards and discard that one.
Effects: certain cards trigger an effect when discarded: peek at a card, blindly swap with another player, or give another player an extra card.
React quickly: when a card is discarded, everyone may immediately discard a card of the same value from their own row. If you don't have one, you receive a penalty card.

Example: You remember that there is a 12 in your row. You draw a 1, place it where the 12 was, and discard the 12. Your neighbor knows for sure that they also have a 12 and immediately places it on top of it.

Think you have the lowest score? Shout 'BLOOPS!' and everyone gets one more turn. Then everyone flips over their cards and adds up their score.

Why is it fun?

Everyone stays engaged Even when it's not your turn, you can play a card. So you're involved in the game the whole time.
A risky gamble High trump cards count as zero if you have three or more at the end.
Timing is everything If you shout 'BLOOPS' too early, the others can still beat you on their last turn.
Small and quick A game is over in no time and the box fits anywhere.

Frequently asked questions

Is it difficult to learn?

No. Draw, hold, or discard, and the lowest sum wins. You’ll learn the effect cards during the first game.

Is it like Skyjo?

The concept is similar: keep your cards face down and end with the lowest possible score. Bloops also has effect cards, and you can play cards even when it’s not your turn.

Is there a lot of text?

No, the cards have numbers. The rules are in Dutch and French.

How much luck is involved?

You draw cards blindly, so a bit of luck is part of the game. Remembering the cards makes the difference.
