Mau Mau as Domino!?!

Mau Mau is good, Domino is good, how good Mau Mau as Domino must be!?! The designers answered this question with a new card game. You shed a card, as is familiar from games of Mau Mau, but you place them in the arrangement of a Domino row.

The game features 120 cards, each half of a card shows a number on a colored background or an action symbol. You have eight cards in hand, the top card of the draw-pile begins the display. In your turn you place a suitable card from your hand at one end of the display - color on identical color or number on identical number, or an action symbol. The corresponding halves of the two cards are placed on top of each other. As usual, you draw a card from the pile if you cannot place a card or do not want to place one. When an action symbol appears, the next player passes his turn or draws a card or swaps his hand with another player or all players hand on their cards to their neighbor. In case of a question mark the game is interrupted: You take a card from the draw pile and place it face-up in front of your neighbor He must pit down a card on it with a half that is identical with one half of this card. If he can do this, he passes both cards to the next player, who must now match one half of the top card, and so on. Whoever cannot match the top card must take the stack that was passed to him. If you have only one card in hand, you announce “Solomino”. If you discard your last card, you win.

Mau Mau is good, Domino is good, and Mau Mau as Domino is better; old and old yielded something new and very nice! A witty idea that playes surprisingly well and is enjoyable.
