Objective
Kartendomino is a simple card game where the aim is to get rid of all your cards by playing them in a domino fashion, matching numbers or suits to the cards on the table.
Components
- A standard 52-card deck without jokers
Number of Players
- 2-4 players
Setup
- Shuffle the deck thoroughly.
- Each player is dealt 7 cards. The remaining cards form the draw pile placed facedown in the center of the table.
- Flip the top card of the draw pile face up to create the discard pile.
Gameplay
- The player to the left of the dealer goes first.
- Playing a card: The player must play a card from their hand onto the discard pile. The card must match either the number or suit of the top card.
- If a player cannot play a matching card, they must draw one card from the draw pile. If the drawn card can be played immediately, they may do so; otherwise, their turn ends.
- The game continues clockwise.
- Objective: Be the first to play all your cards.
Special Rules:
- There are no special rules for specific cards as in games like Uno. It's purely about matching numbers or suits.
Strategies
- Card Management: Keep track of what cards others are playing to quickly know which numbers and suits are prevalent in play.
- Avoid Drawing Cards: Try not to draw from the pile unless necessary, as additional cards hinder your goal of playing all your cards.
Winning
The game ends when a player has no cards left. That player is the winner.
