Partners

Partners is a fun alternative to Ludo, where you and a partner must get the pieces all the way home, but instead of rolling dice, you use cards to move the pieces. These two changes make Partners a fun and enjoyable game, where you not only have to move your own pieces home, but also your partner's.

Have you worn out your cards? Don't worry, you can get a brand new set of cards here.

How to play Partners:

The Partners game board is placed in the center of the table. In a game where 2 pairs play against each other, the participants whose colors are placed diagonally across from each other form pairs and are "Partners".

One of the participants shuffles the cards and deals 4 cards to each of the 6 participants. The participants each take their cards into their hands, while the remaining cards are placed in a pile next to the game board.

Each participant exchanges one of their cards with their Partner; here it is a good idea to ensure that you give your partner a card with a "heart" symbol, as this allows them to get a piece out on the game board. The cards are exchanged simultaneously and face down, so no one can see their value.

The participant to the left of the card dealer starts the game by placing one of their cards face up in the center of the game board and making the move indicated by the card. The turn continues to the next player, and this continues throughout the game.

When a card dealer has dealt cards 3 times, the next participant in a clockwise direction will deal the cards.

As soon as a participant has gotten their own pieces to the goal (locked in the 4 goal circles), that participant must help their partner or partners.

The pair or team that first gets all their pieces to the goal wins!
