Overview

Highland Panic is a vibrant, fast-paced multiplayer card game that brings a Scottish Highland theme to your tabletop. Designed for 2-4 players, it captures the thrill of competitive solitaire-style games like Nertz and Dutch Blitz. The core gameplay revolves around a familiar solitaire foundation, but with a crucial competitive twist: players race to be the first to empty their "panic pile." Every card played into the shared "Clan pile" earns points, but beware – any cards remaining in your panic pile at the end of a round will cost you dearly.Check the review panel on this page or the Steam listing for the latest user review trend.
