Overview

In Kniffel: Das Kartenspiel, players try to create card combinations – straights, flushes, full houses, triples and pairs – in order to place cubes from their supply on their personal playing board. By doing this, they get to draw more cards each turn, hold more cards in their hand, and spend cards more efficiently to add cubes to their supply. The first player to place all of her cubes on her board wins. Kniffel: Das Kartenspiel includes double-sided playing boards (with a blue beginner/family side and a tougher red pro/gamer side) and a special five-color deck with each color having cards from 1 to 13.
