Esel Lino 2007

Objective: be the first getting rid of all your cards - acting by turn - 1. put all five '1' cards face up into middle of the desk, take out the donkey card; all other cards are shuffled and handed out 2. each player forms a pile, cards face down 3. draw top card; if you can discard it - must match colour & must show a value of +1 (='2' in the very first moment/round) put it into the middle ==> form a pile 3a. if it doesn't match ==> form your open pile next to you... ==> next player's turn 4. draw top card; if you can discard it - must match colour & must show a value of +1 ==> desk pile (priority!) OR ==> must show a value of +/- 1 & no need of matching colour to place on top open pile of one of your opponents 5. if your face down pile is empty turn your open pile face down 6. if active player misses an opportunity to discard or plays wrong sequence ==> gets penalty: donkey card & 1 card from each opponent content: 100 cards numbered 1-20/5 colours

+ 1 donkey & 3 joker cards

remarks: less enjoyable with 2 players
