You’ll need the game box. Marquoir sums up the rules and keeps score.
Setup
- Set up the supply of lives (as many as there are players) and start with one throwing star.
- On level 1, each player is dealt one card; on level 2, two cards; and so on.
How to play
- There are no turns: each player plays their lowest card face up in the middle whenever they feel it is time.
- No information is allowed, neither words nor signals.
- If a lower card was still in someone's hand, the team loses a life and those cards are discarded.
- The throwing star: if everyone agrees, each player discards their lowest card.
- Some completed levels reward the team with a life or a throwing star.
Scoring
- Count the last level the team completed.
End of the game
- Victory on level 12 with two players, 10 with three, 8 with four.
- Defeat when the team loses its last life.
Frequently asked questions
Can you concentrate before starting a level?
