Kookiz

Stack and steal cookies

80 round cards, called Kookiz, represent 10 different kinds of colorful cookies which you should stack and collect while getting rid of your cards. The cards are shuffled and then four cards are drawn and displayed - for two and four players - and five cards in case of three and five players. The remaining cards are dealt evenly to all players, who stack their cards face down. Finally, each player draws four cards from his stack.

Now all play simultaneously: If you hold two or more identical Kookiz you must stack them open-faced on the table and draw the same number of cards from your stack. For a single Kookiz you have three possibilities: If there is an identical Kookiz displayed in the middle you can put your Kookiz on top, stack both of them and draw a card from your stack; or you put your Kookiz on a stack of the same kind in front of another player and thus steal the stack from him and draw a card; or you put the Kookiz on an identical stack of your own already on the table, and draw a card.  If you cannot do anything you pass until you can act again. If nobody can do anything all players draw one more card from their stack. If you are out of cards you end the round, score 3 bonus points for ending the round and all note the number of their stacks. Should someone have two stacks of the same kind they are combined into one before counting stacks. After five rounds you win with the highest score.

Kookiz is a fun version of the all-play-at-the-same-time-card-shedding games. There is no time for counting cards and applying some tactics to stacking, all that is needed is a quick eye and a quick reaction!
