Attacke

Published 1993

Themed as a joust of knights, this is a simple card laying contest. The cards are in 5 colors and are numbered 2,3,4,5 & 7. From a hand of five, a players lays a card or cards in one color, declares the total value, and draws one card. Following players must lay cards to beat that total in that color to stay in the round. If you don't play, you're out and draw a final card. The round continues with players adding more cards to their total or dropping out until one player remains and takes a token in that color. There are joker cards (shields) of 7 or 10. First to win 4 out of the 5 colored tokens, wins the game. Ridiculously simple and really great fun. Do you contest this color seriously, or throw some cards down just to draw a color you need? Re-implemented by: Ivanhoe Gem Dealer
