Brazilian bar game Capote! coming to Steam Early Access October 23rd
Luski Game Studio, in partnership with Nuuvem, have revealed their multiplayer card game Capote! is coming to Steam Early Access on October 23rd. Inspired by classic Brazilian bar games like Trucco, Capote! transports players to a sweltering Brazilian pub, where colorful characters while away the days competing in card games until only one of them is steady enough to stand.
Capote! offers a virtual trip to a Brazilian bar where 2-6 players compete in a card game of wits, bluffing, luck, and strategy. Mixing Trucco with a cavalcade of chaotic special cards, no win is guaranteed, and any card can flip the game. With a low barrier to entry and a high skill ceiling, Capote! offers a fun time, regardless of how good you are at it.
At the start of each round, players bet how many points they think they’ll amass, then play their cards round-by-round aiming to hit that exact number. Score too high or too low, and you’ll have to take a virtual shot for each point you’re off from your prediction. Hit four shots and… you’re out. Capotado!
Get dealt a bad hand? Don’t worry, as messing with your friends is a valid strategy. Play your special cards at the right time to twist the odds, sabotage their bets, or turn a sure win into chaos. Victory is nice, but laughing at your friend’s downfall is even nicer. Capote! is all about soaking in the lazy Sunday vibes and having a good time with a bit of unpredictability.
“Capote! is a multiplayer card game, but it’s not just a multiplayer card game; it’s a celebration of Brazilian bar culture,” said Gabriel Guedes, Game Designer at Luski Game Studio. “Trucco - and all its wildcard variants - are massive in Brazil. It’s like poker anywhere else, times ten. Anywhere you go, you’ll find some folks lounging around in an open-air bar throwing down cards, or making up a drinking game. Capote! captures this vibe, from its sweaty, sun-drenched setting to its colorful clothing and local tunes blaring from the radio. It’s like taking a Brazilian holiday without having to spend money on travel or nurse a hangover!”
