Randolph is proud to present NOW!, a game designed by Silvano Sorrentino and, for the first time, co-published with Scorpion Masqué (Sky Team, Turing Machine, Zombie Kidz Evolution…).
NOW! is a fast-paced, competitive card game that will keep you on the edge of your seat!
Your goal? Discard your cards as quickly as possible in search of the perfect value.
Beware, your deck empties faster than expected!
Think you have the right card? Shout NOW!
Get as close as possible to the target values (without exceeding them!) to claim them. Rack up as many points as possible at your opponents' expense. And above all, don't let the frenzy make you lose your cool!
Joël Gagnon, studio head at Randolph confides: "The first time I played NOW!, I fell in love instantly. I was immediately charmed by this simple idea of only seeing one card at a time and discarding your deck in search of a good card. I found it to be a metaphor for a push-your-luck game that manages to trick our judgment. The Scorpion team suggested we work on this project as two studios, and we were super excited! We combined our strengths to give this little game maximum love."
Silvano Sorrentino, the author of NOW! shares: "Working with the people at Randolph was a real pleasure. It's easy to simplify a big game, but they managed to work with me to make a simple and original game even simpler, while adding several layers of small ideas that make it enjoyable to play. I truly hope this is only the first in a long series of games we create together!"
Manuel Sanchez, studio head at Scorpion Masqué adds: "The central mechanic of NOW! is super original! You can discard as many cards as you want to find the perfect card... But will you find it? Is it really reasonable to go through all your cards with the crazy hope that the next card will be the right one? And when you think you've found the perfect card, your neighbor snatches your target... NOW! is a true little party game full of twists and laughs."
NOW! will be available in all stores in Quebec in early April 2024 at a price of $19.99 CAD. For 3 to 8 players, aged 8 and up. A game lasts approximately 15 minutes.
In the meantime, the game will be available in preview at the 8 Randolph Pub Ludique locations during the month of March, where it will be the game of the month. It is also being presented at the Festival International des Jeux de Cannes in France, from February 23 to 25, 2024.
NOW! is played by 3 to 8 players aged 8 and up, with a bonus official variant for 2 players. A game of NOW! lasts 15 minutes.
It is a game by Silvano Sorrentino, illustrated by Fanny Saulnier, and published by Randolph and Scorpion Masqué studios.
