Completto

CHallenging row of numbers

The game comprises 100 tiles carrying number values of 1 to 100. Each player tries to arrange, in his own row of tiles, 22 tiles with an ascending number series from left to right.

All 100 tiles are spread out face-down. Each player draws 17 tiles from stock and sets them down –face down – in a row. Then each player draws five tiles, one by one, turns them face-up and inserts them face-up at any location of his choice into his row. You must always insert one tile into the row before you can reveal the next one. Already at this stage the tiles must be inserted in ascending order.

Then players in turn decide on one of two action options: 1) Take a tile from stock in the middle, reveal it and exchange it for a face-down tile in your row; this tile goes into stock, still face-down. The open-faced tile must, again in ascending order, be inserted into the row, before, after or between two numbers. If you manage to place two consecutive numbers next to each other, you immediately have another turn. When the tile you revealed does not fit anywhere in your row, you must put it back into stock open-faced. This tile can be picked up by any player in his turn. When a number can be rotated by 180 degrees and is readable, you can decide which number you want to use, for instance 68 or 89. Whoever is first to arrange 22 tiles in correct order, wins the game.

If you want to play several rounds, each player notes the number of face-down tiles remaining in his display as penalty points.

Completto offers nicely varied standard mechanisms, the rotating of some number tiles and the additional turn for two consecutive numbers are nice details.
