Overview

96 funny-looking cards: square-shaped, numbered from 1 to 6 and in four different suits! Each player has a hand of five cards and changes one card at each turn to try and get a card combination not yet on his score sheet: two pairs, three of a kind, four of a kind, a full house, a straight run, a flush, a series of 1’s , a series of 2’s, and so forth… If the other players find out what your object is, they may get in your way. As soon as another player puts down his cards, all you need to worry about is scoring as many points as possible even if it means sacrificing one of your goals. With the excitement of Yahtzee, the tension of Rummy and the bluff of Poker all combined in one. Contents: 96 cards, score boards, point chips, pencil and a set of game rules. Re-implements: Yami
