About this game

From the rules summary in Mü and Lots More: goal of this unusual game is not so unusual: it is to collect most points. There are 8 rounds and in each of these rounds point cards are distributed. There are 8 tricks in each round. The special features of this game are that each player takes exactly 2 tricks per round and a player can secure a trick by calling "Meinz". At the end of a round, it is the sum of the numbers in each player’s two tricks that determines the outcome of the round. Re-implemented by: Mü and Lots More

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.6/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
