PLAYED FOR YOU

Matschig

Umbrella or fan against mud!

All players want to stay clean and sling mud at others. You start with 7 cards in hand. The starting player makes mud out of one sand card and one water card and slings this at another player by placing the cards open-faced in front of this player. If he cannot or will not fend off the mud he takes the mud cards and sets them aside openly for mud points at the end of the game. If you can and want to fend off the mud you play any number of umbrella cards that equal the total of the mud cards - fended-off cards and umbrella cards go out of the game – or you play one special card. Each card in the mud must be defeated extra, you cannot fend off mud made up from 4 sand and 3 water with one 7 umbrella. You play only one special card: A fan blows away all sand, you take the water; in analogy the blow drier fends off water, you take the sand. Friesian mink (a raincoat) fends off a total of 13 mud points! If you deviate mud you move it to another player who can fend if off again. If you distribute mud, the mud thrown is discarded and all other players draw a card; special cards or umbrella are discarded, sand or water are taken for mud points.

When mud has been slung, each player, even the one at whom it was thrown, can make up perfect mud with one single card to result in equal values of sand and water in the mud, and re-direct the mud.

Playing in the mud makes children happy, and adults, too. Right!  So go on and throw mud about, you will not be told off if you are dirty, the only one nagging will be you when you lack a pink umbrella or two. A really well-done fun with cards, reviving memories of holidays and childhood!
