PLAYED FOR YOU

Absacker

Bag a few bags

Collecting sacks is the aim of the game, as quickly as possible and as many complete rows as possible. The game features cards with sack values of 3 to 7 - in different amounts - 21 x value 3, 20 x value 4, 20 x value 5, 24 x value 6 and 21 x value 7. A row is complete when the number of cards in it equals the sack value, which of course means that a row can only comprise cards of identical sack values.

All cards are dealt evenly to all players, stacked as their personal piles, and you draw three cards from your pile in hand. In your turn you must play at least one card and may play up to three cards, always placing them into the corresponding row or rows and replenish your hand to three cards. If you complete a row you take it; you can complete more than one row in a turn and can, for each row that you took immediately start a new row of the same value as you just took. There can always be only row of a given value on display. If someone plays his last card and has finished his turn, the game ends. Each card you collected is now worth one point, regardless of its sack value, and you win with most collected cards, that is, most points.

This little game is exactly what it’s German game means - a game to chill out, ideal for the end of a games evening or as an introductory game for newbies; good for in-between heavier games, for holiday or travelling, a relaxing Jack of all Trades. Of course, it has little tactic to offer, but lots of fun, if you are apt at remembering cards that were played, you might even have a chance at some tactic towards the end of the game.
