Inferno
Published 2005
Game components: 100 numeric cards, 4 xvalues 1-5 in 5 different colours. Each player receives 12 cards and tries to play as many cards as possible. But: A player unable to play out a card must take all! The starting player plays and announces color and value. Players must then add cards, which must be alike either in the color or in the value as the first out-played. If the player is unable (or does not want) to play a card to match, he must take all the cards played thus far and then start a new round. In the end all the red cards in hand are worth their face value and all the rest of the cards are worth one point. After a number of rounds fewest points wins.
