Fun, Balancing Act for Players of Endless Games’ New Dropsy Card Game
Industry: Entertainment & Games
A card game where all you have to do is get three of the same color. Sounds simple right? It was, until Endless Games turned it into Dropsy, the game where players can't discard and they have to hold their cards in some unusual ways while trying to get the three-of-a-kind.

Endless Games today announced the nationwide availability of its latest card game, Dropsy.
In this new game, all you have to do is get three of the same color. Sounds like a pretty simple card game, until Endless Games turned it into Dropsy, the game where players have to hold their cards in some unusual ways while trying to get their three of a kind.
In Dropsy (MSRP $6.99 for 2 or more players 8+) players take turns drawing cards to try to get three of the same color. However, instead of discarding cards, players have to hold them in the manner directed on the card. Cards can command players to hold cards under their chins; on top of their heads; back of their hands; between their fingers; under their arms, and more odd positions. If a player “Dropsy” their cards, they have to start all over again trying to get the three-of-a-kind again.
The silly new game, designed by renowned game inventor, Howard Tarnoff, was originally conceived in 2004 under the title, “Don’t Drop Your Draws.” Brian Turtle, VP of Sales and Marketing for Endless Games, explained, “The game went through some design and graphics changes since it was presented in 2004. We’ve made it a quick and easy, affordable game that can deliver fast laughter which is always our goal, but may be particularly beneficial to people right now.”
Dropsy is one of the latest in Endless Games’ line of cool card games that already includes Red Light Green Light 1-2-3, The Name 5 Card Game, Jeopardy! and Jeopardy! Jr. Card Games, and the Wheel of Fortune and Wheel of Fortune Junior Card Games.
