Zahlemann und Söhne (1994)

About this game

A simple game about getting rid of your hand of cards. All players must match a drawn card (by value or colour) in order to get rid of it. Higher valued cards (showing elder members of the Zahlemann family) take precedent over younger ones so getting rid of the baby is the toughest. Once one player goes out, the other players must pay the value of their remaining cards.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 7 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
