PLAYED FOR YOU

Sarkophag

Avoid the mummies that have woken up!

Unfortunately ancient sarcophagi have been opened and you need to avoid the affectionate mummies. You receive 10 cards out of 60 in values 1 to 60, an eventual  rest in case of less than six participating players is set aside. The starting player leads a card, the second player in clockwise direction decides with the card he plays if all other players after him must play a higher or lower card than the first player. If the second card played is lower than the card lead by the starting player, all players must play a card lower than that of the starting player, but not necessarily lower than their predecessor. Whoever playes the lowest card of the round, takes the trick. But if somebody is forced – due to lack of a suitable card – to play a card that is higher than the one lead, the trick is taken by whoever played the highest card, that is, who had to overbid the highest. In analogy, all must play a higher card when the card played by the second player is higher than the one lead by the first player. If someone cannot follow suit and is forced to play lower, the trick goes to whoever played lowest, that is, had to underbid the most. Whoever wins a t trick is the one who leads for the next trick. If you lead for a trick you are not allowed to play a card with five mummies unless you hold only such cards. After ten tricks you win with fewest mummy heads on your collected tricks.

Again a nice, little, well-working card game, nothing really new, but a game that plays quickly and is quickly explained, an ideal card to take along traveling and an equally ideal game as a filler or for beginners.
