PLAYED FOR YOU

Mensch ärgere Dich nicht

Das Kartenspiel

Rows of figure cards symbolize the path of the game pieces to the finish. There are 50 number cards 1 to 4 = Figures and 130 dice cards 1 to 6 = Dice. You play dice cards to collect figure cards for your own, ascending row of figures.

Figures are laid out in ascending order, sorted by colors, colors have no importance in the game after sorting. The dice cards are shuffled and you begin with two randomly dealt dice cards.

In your turn you play a dice card= dice, take the figure card = figure of this value, place it into your row and draw one dice. For the first card of a row that you want to begin you may play two dice and add their value. You can have a maximum of three rows at any given time. After the first card you add the value of the die you play to the value of the last figure in the row and add the figure card of this value from stock in the middle. If a figure is no longer available from the middle you may take it from another player; should it be available in one of your own rows you take it from there. To close a row for points you must place 40 as last figure and then the row scores one point per figure and per star on a figure; the points are noted and figures go back into the middle. If you acquire 30, 35 or 40 points in case of 4, 3 or 2 players, you win the game.

Nice, exceedingly nice! Stealing from other players may be helpful, but dice are - as in the board game - the deciding factor. Sometimes it helps to begin a new row in order to be able to draw two cards.
