Wu

Compete in a clash of the Five Chinese Elements!

"Wu" means "five" in Chinese. And in this game, five is everything: five elements, five numbers, five ingots. At the heart of Wu lies the ancient Chinese philosophy of the Five Elements 金木水火土 (pronounced “Jin Mu Shui Huo Tu”). Each Element flows into another in an endless, yet balanced, cycle.

n this elemental hand management game, play (and conserve!) your cards strategically to win Gold Ingots!

All players start with a hand of 8 cards, which they view privately. On your turn, you choose whether to Play or Pass. To Play, form a Set of cards from your hand, that is the same or next Element as what was just played. Your Set must also be of the same or higher level than what was just played.

If you are unable to Play, or want to conserve cards, you may Pass. Take the top 2 cards of the deck and add them to your hand. Once you Pass, you are out of that Round. All other players continue, until only 1 player is left (i.e. all other players Passed). That player wins the Round, gains 1 Gold Ingot, and starts the next Round.
