Read the full game description
As in Mau Mau or UNO, in Passt nicht! — or P4sst n1cht! if you want to be totally accurate — you discard matching cards on the pile in the middle of the table. A round ends, when one player discarded his last card. This sounds familiar to you? Correct! However, the real aim of the game is to collect the non-matching cards in a display in front of you. These will be the cards you score points for ... and in the end it's always about having the most of them. But when you play a card into your display, you have to draw a new card, so you won't get closer to ending the round. So each turn you have to choose either to discard a card (to advance the game) or to play one into your display (to collect points). But be careful! You can also lose your collected cards. If a card in your display matches the top-card on the discard pile, you have to discard the matching card from your display or another matching card from your hand. At the end of a round, all the cards in front of you score points, all remaining cards on your hand are negative points! If a player reaches 50 points, the game ends.
