Kites: The Real-Time Cooperative Kite-Flying Game

The sky is beautiful, but don't take your eyes off your sand timers!

In Kites, you work together to fly a multitude of colorful kites. Each kite is represented by a different colored sand timer. Some run out very quickly (red), while others give you more time (blue or purple). The goal? Play your cards to flip the corresponding sand timers and prevent any of them from completely emptying.

The concept? If a sand timer empties, the kite falls and the game is lost! You must communicate, coordinate your cards, and watch the time tick away to empty the deck before disaster strikes.

Why Kites will give you thrills:

• Unique Adrenaline: Unlike classic puzzle games, here you play against the clock. The tension builds as the sand timers empty, creating an electric atmosphere around the table.

• Express Communication: "The red one is almost empty!", "Wait, I don't have blue!" The game forces rapid and effective communication, ideal for bonding a group of friends or family.

• Simple and Visual: No need to read pages of rules. You look at the colors, play a card, flip the sand timer. It's instantly understandable, even for the youngest players.

• Modular Challenges: Once you master the calm wind, the game offers "Storm" or "Airplane" cards that will shake up your organization and seriously increase the difficulty.
