PLAYED FOR YOU

Motto

Your goal in life: Be Happy

Happiness as a goal for your life, to be achieved with the optimum combination of love, passion and financial means. Cards in the game carry symbols for those three values, in different numbers, and indicate the stage in life with their background color – youth, adulthood and old age. Aim of the game is to collect most victory points, the card combinations are meant to represent harmonic combinations of the three values. You begin with two cards and four cards are laid out face up on the table. In your turn you can take one of the four open cards on the table or one from the draw pile or play cards – three cards with one or two characteristics in common – symbol, number of symbols or color – and take victory points accordingly.

Those victory points are available in the guise of 27 tokens, three large, three medium and three small ones for the characteristics of symbol, number of symbol and background color. Whoever, for instance, lays down three red cards and each of the card carries two symbols, receives the largest available victory point token for the characteristic “red” and the largest available victory point token for “2”. He does not get a token for symbols, as the types of symbols are different.

When someone takes the last of all large and medium victory point tokens, all other players have one more turn and then you win with most victory points.

As regards to rules and mechanism the game is absolutely suitable for the targeted age group, the topic seems a bit idiosyncratic for eight year olds. The game itself works well and plays quickly, key element is the luck in getting suitable cards.
