About the Game

If you grew up hearing “Xeri!” echoing across the room as cards flew across the table, this game will feel like home. Xeri, one of Greece’s most beloved card games, makes the leap from the café table to your Amstrad screen!

The rules are simple—but the game is anything but. Two players, one deck, and four cards open on the table. Each player holds four cards and tries to capture matching values. Play a card that matches, and you collect those on the table. Clear everything? That’s a “Xeri!”, worth extra points.

As the deck runs out, points are tallied: the player with the most cards wins bonus points, while the King of Diamonds and Ten of Diamonds grant special rewards. With a little luck and clever play, victory is yours.

No flashy graphics are needed—just strategy, timing, and that timeless thrill of sweeping the table clean. A true classic of Greek gaming, reborn in digital form.
