PLAYED FOR YOU

 

Quanto

Collect cards with sums

 

There are nine times values 1 to 12, plus rainbow cards and joker as well as Quanto tiles of values 5-12.

You want to take your own Quanto stack or cards from the display for your own winning stack. In your turn you play one of four cards in hand and do an action, refill the display to four cards and refill your hand.

Possible action with the card you played:

1. You place it on a card in the display and can then take cards from the display - single cards of the same value or several cards with a total equal to this value. All cards that you take are placed, together with the card you played, on your own winning stack.

2. You place the card on the table and add a card from the display. Those two cards form a Quanto and you take the tile equal to the sum of the cards. Then you can add cards from the display to the Quanto, totaling the value of the Quanto, again a single card or several cards. You can only form a Quanto when the tile is available and can have only one Quanto laid out at any given time.

Or you add the Quanto sum again from the display to a Quanto or place the Quanto - after playing a card from hand in the Quanto value and the usual adding of cards from the display - to your winning stack and put the tile back.

3. Discard cards from your hand, resulting in a special action, if you discard a 1, 2 or 3. When nobody has cards in hand any longer, you win with most cards in your winning stack.

Nice for in-between, but you must get used to the many special cases for some card values, rainbow cards and jokers and the multitude of options cannot really be planned due to the chance factor in refilling hand and display.
