5 Points for all four blue shapes

 

The aim of the game is simple - score most points in the different scorings.

But: Scoring requirements vary!

The game comprises 64 playing cards featuring four different geometric symbols in four colors, 8 Scoring cards and 8 Sorting cards for all shapes in each color or each shape in all colors. The sorting cards are laid out, the scoring cards are shuffled face-down and then you place one scoring card face up next to each sorting card. 10 cards are stacked face down, the rest is split into three equal stacks and set down open-faced. In your turn you take a card from one stack or pass your turn, if you take a face-down card you need not show it. If you pass a turn you can take a card again in the next turn! Cards that you take are stacked face down, you cannot look at your stack. When all players have passed their turn or all cards have been taken the round is scored. First each player sorts his stack by color and scores each color according to the scoring card next to the color’s sorting card; then you re-sort the cards by shape and score accordingly; the points are noted. After three such rounds you win with the highest score.

Deceptively simple and devilishly difficult! Do I have 7u triangles already or do I need another one to score 10 points? I think a have six reds, so I should take another one, because an even number will lose me points - but there are four colors and four shapes! A fabulous game for the whole family, you need to remember well and take cleverly. Simple, or is it not? And planning is possible, too, at least you can try to, un case the others don’t spot that you aim for triangles!
