WHOT The Ultimate Nigerian Card Game

About WHOT The Ultimate Nigerian Card Game

On a turn, a playable card must match either the shape or number shown on the top card. Shapes include circles, triangles, crosses, squares, and stars. When no card in hand qualifies, the player draws once; a playable draw may be used, while another result leads to SKIP TURN.

Cards numbered 20 are WHOT wild cards. They may be played at any time and allow the player to select any shape for the next part of the match. The winner is the first participant to use every card in hand.

Objective: Be the first player to play all six cards from your starting hand.

Core loop

• Match the top card by shape or number, draw when no match is available, and reduce your hand toward zero cards.
