PLAYED FOR YOU

Light Line

Red is extended, green borders blue

Your target is to extend as many lines as possible with one card and achieve the best possible score with each card. 65 line cards show numbers from 2 to 5 on the back side, are sorted by those numbers and stacked face-down. The top #3 card is laid out as a starter card and each player draws one card from the #3 stack. In your turn you place your card next to one or more cards already in place, always edge on edge, thereby extending at least one colored line, all other lines can be extended correctly, too, but need not be. You can try several positions for the card before finally deciding where to place it. For a line or lines that you extend in that way you score victory points, one point for each segment in each line you extended, and take up to two cards from the number stacks, their sum equaling your score, but only up to a maximum of 10 points per round, regardless of what you scored. If you cannot place your card, you put it underneath its stack and draw a new one to place. At the end of your turn you draw one card in hand. If you cannot take VPs correctly, the game ends at the end of the round and you win with most victory points.

The rules list several variants for groups with different numbers of players and different qualifications, there is a solo version and a version that you play in your mind only.

Light Line lives up to its name, it is a light, easy and casual game of card placement, yet offering enough tactics for more experienced players, all in all a very nice family game and a good filler game or travelling game, working well for any number of players.
