Ratuki

The fast Card craze!

 

The game comprises five sets of cards in five colors, each containing two Ratuki cards as jokers. The cards are numbered in different ways, showing either a number, or the word for the number, or raised fingers, simple lines or eyes of a die.

Aim of the game is to collect a minimum of 100 points with your cards. If you are the first to achieve this you win.

How do you collect points? You start stacks of cards, place cards on those stacks in order of their value and if you can place a Five on such a stack you pick up the complete stack. Each player chooses a color, shuffles the cards and stacks them on the table. Then you draw three cards for your hand and all start to play simultaneously. A stack is started with a 1 or a Ratuki card and you can only discard a card on a stack that is higher or lower by 1 than the top card of the stack. When you played a card you draw a card from your stack, and you can only discard cards using one hand and always only with the same hand. If you cannot place a card at all you can place it on your own face-down discard pile. When your draw pile is empty you end the current round for all players. All count the cards in their stacks of won cards and deduct the number of cards in the personal draw pile and the face-down discard pile. For the next round cards are again separated by color. If you are the first to top 100 or pass 100, you win, when several players do this in the same round the winner is the player with most points.

Not new, but nicely varied, fast, attractive, an ideal game as a filler, or for your holidays.
