Cosmo is a poker-style hand-building game where reading the room is just as important as reading your cards. Each round, players draft cards one at a time from six labeled decks, building a five-card hand. The first card goes face down, the next three go face up for everyone to see, and then comes the betting round before that final hidden card is revealed. You know what might be left in each deck. Your opponents know what you have been picking up. The question is who blinks first.
Originally self-published as Mole Poker in 2024, this Helvetiq edition gives the game a polished new look and wider distribution. It is a sharp, compact design that rewards both card-game veterans and newer players who enjoy light strategy with a social edge. Fast to teach, replayable, and exactly the kind of game that turns a 20-minute wait into the best part of the evening.
