PLAYED FOR YOU

Das lustige Eselspiel

ASS marks overlooked oppertunities

All number cards - 5x times numbers 1 to 20 - are dealt evenly to all players, an eventual rest is set aside; each player stacks his cards face-down to form his draw pile. The starting player turns up the top card of his stacks and lays it out open-faced to start his discard pile. Then, in turn, the next player in counter-clockwise direction turns up the top card in his stack. When the card corresponds to the top card on the discard pile of another player, differing by one in ascending or descending order, you can put the card there and may turn up another card or - if applicable - place the top card from your discard pile elsewhere. When your card would fit several stacks, you must choose the one next to you in counter-clockwise direction. You can continue to do so until you reveal a card that does not fit any stack and must be placed on your own discard pile. When you turn up a card of value One, you put it in the middle of the table, it can now also be used to put cards there. Should your card fit the stack in the middle and a player's stack, you must put it on the stack in the middle. If you overlook a possibility to place a card you are handed the Ass card and get a card from each player's draw pile.

Should your draw pile be empty you turn over your discard pile for your new draw pile. If you are first to shed all cards, you win.

Well, UNO and Mau Mau or Ligretto are classics, this game picks up the mechanisms and varies them by a version in which all players must pay close attention to spot mistakes to hand on the Ass and thus get rid of another card. Nothing new, but a nice, solid family game.
