THE BEST CARD GAME IN THE WORLD!
Never before has a card game been packed with as much thrill , uncertainty , excitement and pure joy as HYDRA !
Every round of the game is different. The teams are reshuffled in every round and it is rarely clear who your real team members are.
Betrayal, ambush and intrigue are just some of the constant companions in the magical world of HYDRA .
Inspired by legendary games like TICHU and its little brother CHIMERA , we managed to combine the tried and tested with the new and thus create a completely new gaming experience.
HYDRA is a card game for 2-6 players , but the basic concept is designed for 4 players . In this game the order determines who attacks and who defends . As an attacker, you take on the role of the Hydra and try to carry out your attacks successfully and bring home your points (stakes) . You do this by getting rid of your hand cards before anyone else. The remaining players try to prevent this or “ secretly ” support the attacker.
But the whole thing comes with a twist in two ways ! On the one hand, each player plays for HIMSELF , but at the same time is always part of one of two teams . On the other hand, there are the ever-changing teams that are determined by the COMPANION CARD and can also change during the game. Phew! Are you still keeping track of who your real team members are, or are you just being betrayed?!
DIVE IN AND TAKE PART IN THE BIGGEST ADVENTURE IN A LONG TIME...
Good luck you heroes!

DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
HYDRA – Your destiny is just a card away!
Deceive, ally, betray – in HYDRA, nothing is as it seems! Every move can turn the game around, every alliance can crumble. Grab your cards, forge plans, and secure victory!
In each round, the teams are reshuffled, but who can you really trust? Attack or defend – stealthily or overtly. Use powerful special cards, rely on tactical bluffing, or secure valuable score cards. HYDRA offers strategic depth, dynamic role distribution, and plenty of surprising twists.
For 2-6 players aged 14 and up. Fast-paced, exciting, unforgettable.
WHY HYDRA?
WHY HYDRA?
Because you don't want a game that repeats itself.
In HYDRA, there are no fixed teams – every round is different. New alliances and surprising twists ensure that you never quite know who you can trust.
Where other games have clear-cut advantages, HYDRA thrives on doubt. Here, it's not the strongest who wins, but the cleverest – or the one who bluffs best.
HYDRA combines tactical depth with emotional excitement – and stays in your mind long after the last move.

Great game. We're really excited and think it's best as a group of three. The companion is more playable in the 3 version and you have more options to choose allies.

Finally a successful card game again! Once you've internalized the special cards and game options, you won't want to put it down. It is amazingly durable and delights both young and old. Leisure now only means one thing: HYDRA!

"Great dynamics and exciting rounds"
I love games where roles and teams can change. That's exactly what happens in Hydra – and it remains exciting until the very end. A superbly thought-out concept and high-quality cards. A real highlight in our game collection! -
★★★★★
We really liked HYDRA. There are similarities to Tichu. However, this didn't bother us in any way. It was actually an advantage because certain game mechanics were already known. In this sense: Who Tichu
likes, will love Hydra. Thanks for a great trick-taking game.
