Potato Man

 

The game comprises 52 potato cards in four colors: red from 5-18 with Evil Potato on 16-18; blue 4-16, green 3-14 and yellow 1- 13 with Potato Man on 1-3. You are dealt 10 or 12 cards, the rest is set aside, 15 Sack cards are sorted by color and placed fanned-out. The starting player leads a card, the others follow with one card each – in a trick each color can appear only once. The highest card wins the trick, in a tie the card played last. In a trick with Evil Potato and Potato Man Potato man always wins. A trick won wins you a corresponding sack card. If you cannot adhere to the color rule, the round ends instantly and no Sack card is given out for this trick. Otherwise, the round ends when all cards have been played. You count potato sacks on your sack cards and note their total. After four such rounds you win with the highest total of potato bags; in case of a tie you win most sacks collected in one round. There are special rules for a game with two or five players.
