Coloretto -

Coloretto is a fast-paced card game about chameleons in seven colors. You collect cards of the same color. The more cards you have of one color, the more points they are worth.

But beware: at the end, only your three best colors count as positive points. All other colors will cost you points. Rows of cards are laid out on the table. You choose when to take a row, and therefore also the colors you didn't really want.

A game consists of several rounds. On each turn, you choose between two options:

• Add a card: draw a card from the deck and add it to a row. A row can have a maximum of three cards.
• Take a row: take all the cards from one row and add them to your own cards. After that, you do not participate in the rest of the round.
• Special cards: a joker counts as any color you want. A '+2' card always gives you 2 points.

Example: a green and a blue chameleon are in a row. You are collecting green and do not want blue. If you take the row now, you will also get the blue one. If you wait, another green one might be added, but so might something you want even less.

The game ends after the round in which the 'last round' card is drawn. Then you choose your three best colors and count the points. Whoever has the most points wins.

• You also play for the others You don't just choose what's good for you. You also lay cards down in a way that makes a row less appealing to someone else.
• Choosing the right moment Do you take the row now, or add another card? That question comes up every turn and keeps things exciting.
• Quick to learn The rules can be explained in five minutes. That's why it's also great to play with children and beginners.
