Karte durchgebracht und damit losgeworden!

The aim of the game is standard – be the first player to shed all cards, the allure is in the details. The game comprises 90 cards of values 2 to 20, cards get rarer in adjacent order, 2 is in play 16 times, an 8 only five times, 12 comes three times and the cards 16 to 20 are in the deck only once.

All 90 cards are shuffled together and you are dealt five or six cards, depending on the number of players, the rest is draw pile. You play in turn. The active player puts down one of his cards in hand on the table and compares it to other cards on the table. Each card that is lower than the card just played is beaten, is discarded and its owner must draw a card from the pile. All cards equal to the card player or higher than this card remain on the table. If it is your turn again and your card is still on the table, you have “gotten it through” and can discard it without drawing a replacement card – you have successfully shed one card.

If you play a card of the same value as a card in front of another player, the values are added and beat all cards lower than the total. If someone plays a card equal to the total value of the cards, this value is not added – for instance, if two fives were played, adding up to 10, you do not add the 10 that is played by a third player, the fives remain on the table, though.

If you get such a joint card through, all players with such a card discard it without replacement. If you are out of cards, you win.

A fun game, easy and just simple enough – the real question is partnering or not? Otherwise simply play it, use a bit of tactics, try a bit of memorizing cards and have fun!
