- Fast-paced: games only take around 10 minutes
- Portable: tiny enough to bring anywhere
- Fun for 8 and up: keeps tweens, teens, and adults equally hooked
- Perfect for parties: works for kids vs adults, sleepovers, birthdays, or family barbeques
This game is one of those card games everyone enjoys. The kids get to shout and cheer, the adults get competitive, and nobody needs to sit through boring turns.
Perfect for family game night
If you want a fun family game for all ages, Piles! is it. You’ll get giggles from the kids, plenty of cheering from the adults, quick rounds so nobody loses interest, and portable fun you can take anywhere from the lounge to the park. Unlike other board games, Piles! won’t drag out for hours. You can play multiple rounds back-to-back without anyone losing their mind.
It’s especially perfect for younger kids aged 8 and over who love fast-paced action and don’t want to sit still for long. Nobody leaves unhappy. Sure, there’s plenty of good-natured groaning and fake tantrums when Mum swoops in with a sneaky win, but it’s the perfect kind of chaos that ends in laughter instead of slammed doors.
Piles! isn’t just for family nights. It’s a winner for parties too. Kids vs adults is hilarious, and you can throw it into any gathering without fuss. Everyone can play, everyone can have fun, and the fun competition is guaranteed. It’s perfect for families who love fast-paced card games that get everyone involved.
So How do you Play Piles!?
In essence, players are dealt six face-down piles of four cards each and set four cards face-up in the middle.
All players play simultaneously, there are no turns.
The goal is to turn each of your piles into a matching set of four cards showing the same article of clothing (but in different colours).
To do this you:
- Pick up one of your face-down piles and look at it (you can only hold one pile at a time)
- Discard one card from that pile face-up into the centre
- Then immediately take one card from the centre and add it to your pile
- Once you’ve swapped cards you place your pile back facedown (unless it’s now a completed set).
- When a pile has all four cards matching (same clothing item), you flip that pile face-up in front of you to show it’s done.
The moment one player has all six of their piles face-up as completed sets, they shout “Piles!” and they win—provided all their piles are indeed correct. If not, the game continues.
That’s the gist of it — fast, frantic, simultaneous swapping until someone completes all six piles.
