Rainbow

GET A piece of the rainbow

Cards that you receive for victory points will give you a piece of the rainbow! From the stack of cards a number of cards equal to the number of players in the game are laid out face-up. The rest of the cards are dealt to the players, in case of three players each player is dealt 14 cards, and the rest goes out of the game. In turn you play either a single card or a set of cards or a run of cards. A single card can be played anytime. When a set of identical cards was played, the others can only play set or solo, or when a run was played you can only play run or solo. When each player has played one or more cards to the middle, the table cards are assigned to players according to the value of the combination they did play. First you take into account the number of cards played, and then the value of cards, each player gets one card in the first round. These cards are victory points and are picked up. The cards played in this round become the new table cards = victory points for the next round. So you might be able to take more than one card after round two, but you must take two cards of the same value.

When two players are out of cards you win with most victory points. For a game of two you are dealt two hands of cards which you may not mix and which are played according to slightly different rules.

The allure of the basically very simple game is the decision when to play which card(s), because the high cards I play turn into victory points for the next round and if I run out of cards I am out of the game. A bit of luck and a good allocation of cards are necessary to get a piece of the rainbow.
