Set to the theme of software development Release! takes time honored trick-tacking mechanics and mixes them up to create a fast paced game that is light enough to be picked up quickly, but deep enough to stay entertaining. The game is simple: manage cooperation and competition with other players across five releases to score the most points. Each round of Release! is played the same way, but the scoring rules change as you reveal new tools and methods. Your team needs to continuously respond to these strategic shifts in order to produce the best release possible.
