Colossus is a solo card game that takes less than 20 minutes to play.

You play as the warrior Nethopha and your objective is to defeat the colossus Og.

Play your Action cards by superimposing them in the play area, respecting these two rules:

 Each card must be played vertically and upright.
 Each card you place must cover exactly two squares (two medallions) of a card already present in the playing area.

Following this, the visible medallions are your stats.

Compare your stats to the stats of the Colossus card in play, and see if you have enough visible medallions to weaken Og, grapple Og (so you don't fall), unlock powerful cards, and/or scale Og.

Reach the top of the Colossus and give it the final blow to annihilate it.

—description from the publisher

Colossus est un jeu de cartes solitaire qui se joue en moins de 20 minutes.

Vous incarnez le guerrier Néthopha et votre objectif est de vaincre le colosse Og.

Jouez vos cartes Actions en les superposant dans la zone de jeu en respectant ces deux règles :

 Chaque carte doit être jouée verticalement et à l’endroit.
 Chaque carte que vous posez doit recouvrir exactement deux cases (deux médaillons) d’une carte déjà présente dans la zone de jeu.

À la suite de cela, les médaillons visibles constituent vos statistiques.

Comparez vos statistiques aux statistiques de la carte Colosse qui est en jeu, et vérifiez si vous avez suffisamment de médaillons visibles pour affaiblir Og, vous agrippez à Og (afin de ne pas tomber), débloquer des cartes puissantes et/ou escalader Og.

Atteignez le sommet du Colosse et donnez-lui le coup final pour l’anéantir.
