Heul Doch! Mau Mau

Avoid too many onions!

Place cards for victory points or give them to your neighbor, because it’s mandatory! There are cards 1-7, twice in seven colors; one open card begins your stack, and you have four cards in hand.

As the active player, you must play a card - either on your own stack in case of correlation in number or value with the top card in your stack, or must put it on the stack of one of your two neighbors in case of a correlation with one of their stack.  As an alternative to giving away a card, you can always put a card from your hand on your stack, onion backside up, and then, in the next turn, put down any card on it provided it does not fit a neighbor’s stack. When all cards have been played, you count your onions; the result annuls all cards of that value or, in case of a result higher than 7, all 7 are annulled and also all supplementary cards for the result, for instance all Sevens and Ones in case of eight onions.

Twelve special cards are provided for a variant; you play them instead of a number card, but on a separate stack: Katapult - whoever has the highest card on their stack, discards it to the catapult. Strandtuch - you swap your top card with that of another player, even an onion. Karussell - all players hand their top card to the left or to the right, as designated by yourself. Werwolf - all players, you included, turn over their top card to an onion.

A cute game and a really beautifully annoying game, oh pardon, fit for crying game! I have forgotten how many onions I have in my stack and cannot count them! NO, I do not want to hand over my 5, cry, cry. Nicely naughty fun and a good filler!
