Ice Cream Combo

VanillA, Strawberry, Green Tea

 

Customers order ice cream cones, filled with scoops of different flavors in varying mixtures. Each player has a set of ice cream cards and tries to complete as many orders as possible with them. As many orders as there are players in the game are displayed openly; each player splits his personal deck of ice cream cards into three face-down stacks. You can have up to to of your ice cream cards laid out for cones. All play simultaneously and reveal cards from all stacks, as they like, or shunt cards between their own stacks, to meet orders. With special cards from the order stack you can get a free cone or steal one or two ice cream cards from other players and place them on your cones and/or your stock. These card-stealing cards must be used when revealed.

If you have filled one of your cones to suit one of the orders on display, maybe with using joker cards, you take the corresponding order card from the display, set it aside together with the cards in the respective cone and replenish the order display with a new order from the stack.

You can also place ice cream cards on cones back into your stack, but never the cards used for cones! Whoever completes five orders, puts an end to the round; all players score the cards collected in completed orders for coins. After two such rounds you win with most coins. Optional, you can assign a bonus, at the end of the second round, if someone collected orders of all colors.

Colorful, nice, sweet - just like ice cream! You need to be quick to avoid the ice cream running ... ähhh ... to avoid that someone else completes an order you have your eyes on.
