Presentation
Kurzer Prozess
My neighbor is the culprit!
Criminals want to put the blame for their crimes - in the guise of cards which represent crimes, but also witnesses and „Schwarzer Peter“ - on others. At the start of the game, three groups of prison sentence period tokens are drawn - always one less than there are players - for the three rounds of the game and sorted by length within each group. All cards are shuffled and dealt evenly to all players; in a game of three players a set of 15 cards for a virtual fourth player is taken out of play.
The active player puts an open card down in front of any player, even in front of himself! Each player must be given another color and, during the game, can only be given additional cards of the same color. Witness cards are color joker and can be placed as first card in front of a player. A “Schwarzer Peter” must be placed in front of yourself and then all players must shunt their cards on the table to their left neighbor. If you have five or more points on the table or cannot play a correct card, you have been caught and take all open cards. you can also decide voluntarily to take all cards on the table. If you would have to play a card and are out of cards. all players receive prison sentence tokens depending on the number of their stacked, collected cards. After three rounds, you win with the shortest prison sentence in total.
Card shedding, cutely disguised as a crime card game - color cards for crimes, cleverly played and shunted to another player and if you manage to play Schwarzer Peter at the right moment, you might get away without cards. But woe to you, if your neighbor plays Schwarzer Peter with a lot of cards in front of him!
