Fette Fünfzehn (2003)

About this game

Another "Oh Hell" type game. This time there are 4 suits numbered 1-13 as well as one silver 14 card and one gold 15 card. There are 9 rounds are played where players are dealt 5 cards on the first, then 6 the next and so on up to 13. If a player has no trump and no cards over 9 they can have all hands re-dealt. The scoring has a bit of a twist. If you make your bid, you get the number of tricks bid plus the number of what round it is. Underbids just lose number of tricks bid (not the round number) and over-tricks make, and get the bid amount plus 1 point per extra trick.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 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.
