Z3bra

112 cards have values of 0 to 12 in seven colors; you receive 15 cards face-down and put nine down in a 3x3 grid, two cards in the grid are turned up; the remaining six cards are your personal stack. In your turn you draw a card from draw pile or discard pile and exchange it with an open or face-down card in your display; an unsuitable card from the draw pile can be discarded, but you must reveal one card in your display. A triplet of cards of the same color or value in an orthogonal or diagonal row is discarded and gaps are filled from your personal pile or closed by shifting cards together. Cards you drew can be swapped with another player’s card of the same color or value if this card forms a trio in your display. When the game-end condition is met, you add the values of cards in your display and personal stack and win with the lowest total.
