About WHOT The Ultimate Nigerian Card Game

You play WHOT, a fast-paced Nigerian card game where you race to empty your hand before your opponents do. On each turn you match either the shape or the number shown on the discard pile – circles, triangles, crosses, squares and stars each appear in values from 1 to 20. When you have no legal play, draw one card; if it matches you can throw it immediately, otherwise you skip. WHOT cards act as wild jokers that let you declare any shape you want, breaking a stalemate or setting up your next move.

You can face three computer rivals or jump into live multiplayer rooms on Poki Games to challenge friends. The deck cycles quickly, so keeping track of which shapes have been played helps you plan ahead. Neon visuals and a thumping soundtrack keep every round energetic, and because games last only a few minutes you will find yourself hitting rematch again and again.
