5 COLORS is a game to win the majority of five colors! Don't get fooled by your opponents! This game has cards 1-6 in five colors, and each player has five cards in hand. Players play two cards from hand simultaneously, then reveal them. They refill their hand, then repeated this process two more times, revealing only one card each of these time. The cards of the majority color will score — unless too many are present, in which case the color busts and the secondmost color scores. In case of a tie for majority, the tied colors are also out. This is repeated until the deck runs out, and the player with the most points wins. 5 COLORS is a simple game featuring a lot of outsmarting the opponent and counting the cards — yet simple enough for the whole family, making it a great beginner's game. —description from the publisher
