PLAYED FOR YOU

Kuddelmuddel

Clean up the house!

The chaos about the house needs a bit of sorting; 80 cards show items in ever-changing combinations, there are always three items pictured on one card.

The bell is placed on the table and the cards, shuffled face down, are distributed around the bell. All play simultaneously, after a starting signal you try for yourself to form a row of seven cards. You randomly take one card from the middle for your starting card and place it on the table. Then you take always one card from the middle – if you cannot use it you put it back face-down. If a card is of use to you you can place it at the end of the row, either left or right. For a card to be useful and fitting the new card must show at least one item that is identical to one item on one of the two end cards of the row. If you are quickest to lay out seven cards in a row you hit the bell. Now all other players check your row of cards. If the row is correct and free of mistakes you keep all cards in the row in a stack, all other players but back their cards face-down and a new round begins. If you did make a mistake you put back your cards face down into the middle and must pass for the remainder of the round.

When the last card is taken from the middle of the table, you may keep your cards if at that moment you have laid out the longest row of all players and if the row at that moment is free of mistakes. Now all count the cards in their stock or lay them out in a row; if you have most cards you win.

Kuddelmuddel is nicely made, a nice version as well as combination of standard mechanisms, if you have a good memory for images this can help.
