Jogo!

Shed your cards!

 

The game features 114 cards; 90 have values 2 to 6 and come in six different background colors with six different symbols. There is also one Stop card, one Change Direction card, one +1 card and one Jogo! card in each color! All cards are shuffled, and four cards are laid out in a row, they begin for discard stacks; if special cards appear at that point, their effects are ignored. Each player has four stacks laid out, comprising 5, 7 or 9 cards in case of 2, 3 or 4 players. All players turn over the top cards of their four stacks and set them in front of the stacks. Then in turn, the active player adds a card to a stack in the middle, either from his hand - if available - or the open card from one of his stacks, such a card is then replaced from the respective stack. Special cards are resolved when played: A Stop card closes the discard stack on which it is played, it is out of play. When all four stacks are closed, the next player starts a new discard stack by playing one card. Change Direction changes direction of play; +1 forces the next player to draw a card and, for the Jogo card, the active player chooses for the next player if he must pass or draw a card or if direction of play changes. If you cannot place a card, you draw two for your hand; if you place a card identical in color and symbol to the top card of the stack, you take an extra turn. If you are out of cards, you win.

All in all, a felicitous, version of a familiar standard mechanism; the game is fun and plays quickly, it features attractive nice graphics and simple rules, the Stop Card is a well-working new rule.
