Mantis

Mantis is a brilliantly simple, wildly chaotic matching game with only two rules: Steal or Score. On your turn, you draw a card and decide whether you want to try scoring it into your pile or steal matching cards from an opponent to grow your collection. Success feels amazing… until someone steals everything back. The emotional rollercoaster continues until one clever player reaches 10 scored cards and claims victory.

Designed with the quick fun of a classic family card game and the tactical depth of Gin Rummy, Mantis is perfect for players of all ages. Kids learn it instantly and often outplay the adults, while grown-ups will appreciate the subtle strategy hidden beneath the colourful chaos. It’s fast, loud, competitive, and endlessly replayable.

Featuring vibrant artwork and easy-to-teach gameplay, Mantis shines as a party warm-up, travel game, or family-night favourite. Whether you’re at home, on the go, or looking to spark some friendly rivalry, Mantis delivers bright, cutthroat fun in every round.
