Figaro

 

The king needs help for work in the castle, all others are at the tournament and only Figaro is left to help him, but he is so gauche that the king nearly despairs. Players lay out cards and receive road parts at the end of the game. For each round a set of road parts is laid out. In his turn a player places a card from his hand in front of any player. But only cards of one colour can lay in front of one player and each colour can only be used once. If a player has cards in front of himself out with a value of 6 or higher or if he cannot or does not want to lay out cards, he is totally blamed and takes all cards on the table. A player running out of cards ends the round, each counts his cards, the player with the most cards takes the longest road part, and so on. After three rounds the player with the shortest road wins the game.
