J ! Quem? Pow! is a simultaneous card game for 4 players (scalable to 8 or more with additional copies) where each player starts with three hit points and the goal is to be the last one standing. Every player receives their own colored deck containing number cards (0–9) and five special cards: Shield, Pow, Swap Deck, Gain Life, and Swap Life. Each round, all players draw up to three cards, then simultaneously choose one to play face-down, one to discard, and one to keep for the next round. Once everyone is ready, all chosen cards are revealed at the same time. Special cards resolve in a fixed order: Shield protects you from damage that round; Pow forces the player who played the highest number to lose a hit point instead of dealing one; Gain Life recovers one lost hit point; Swap Life exchanges all your hit points with another player; and Swap Deck trades your entire deck and hand with an opponent. If only numbers were played, the highest number chooses someone to lose a hit point — but ties cause all tied players to take damage. A chaotic mode replaces strategic hand management with blind draws from the top of the deck. The last player alive wins. —description from the designer
