Flash 10

Sort cards quickly

The game comprises a total of 120 cards; 100 cards are numbered from 0 to 99 - 20 of those number cards are also marked with a flash and are called Flash cards - and another 20 cards are jokers, called Thunder cards.

All 120 cards are shuffled and each player is dealt ten cards face-down, and all players lay out their cards, still face-down, in a row from left to right. The remaining cards are randomly and helter-skelter placed in a loose heap in the middle of the table.

All play simultaneously: First, on a command from one of the players, all turn up their cards simultaneously and then take one card after the other from the middle and put it on top of any of their ten cards. This is continued until someone has a row of cards in ascending order. You must not put back a card that you have taken and you cannot relocate or rearrange a stack, but you can stack any number of cards on any given stack. The row of ascending numbers can have gaps, it is only important that the numbers are all in ascending order. If you manage such an ascending row you stop the round: Now all check how many cards are arranged in correct order, beginning with the first card on the left, and score that many points. Stopping the round gives you two bonus points. If you stop the round incorrectly you do not score at all! Each visible Flash card earns you an additional point, each visible Thunder card scores a penalty point and you cannot stop the round with a visible Thunder card. Whoever is first to score 50 points, wins!

Flash 10 is a well-made, felicitous new arrival in the genre of fast card-sorting games, quick, simple and offering a lot of fun.
