Slambo! is a fast, tactical hand management card game from Allplay, where players take turns trying to control the balance of the game and avoid triggering a dramatic SLAMBO! penalty.
How do you play?
On your turn, play one card to shift the shared balance value. Blue cards increase the balance, red cards decrease it. If the total ever exceeds 10 or drops below 0, you’re SLAMBO’d—and must take all the Shame cards from the middle. The last player to avoid collecting three shame cards wins the game. Rounds are quick, and cards can flip the outcome at any moment.
Why is this game recommended?
Slambo! is easy to learn, ultra-fast to play, and packed with tactical decisions. Its compact size makes it perfect for travel or short gaming sessions. Whether bluffing or baiting your opponent into a trap, every play counts in this punchy little card game.
