Instructions Multicolore

Objective of the Game

Multicolore is a card game where the objective is to be the first player to discard all your cards, which represent colors and numbers, and have no cards left in hand.

Game Components

• A special deck of cards with colors (e.g., Red, Blue, Green, Yellow)
• Number cards (e.g., 1 to 10) in each color

Setup

1. Shuffle the deck thoroughly.
2. Each player is dealt 7 cards.
3. Place the remaining deck face down as the draw pile in the center.
4. Turn over the top card of the draw pile and place it next to it as the discard pile.

Game Play

• Players take turns in a clockwise direction.

• Playing a Card: The current player must discard one card from their hand onto the discard pile. They can only discard a card that matches either the color or the number of the top card on the discard pile.

• Cannot Play: If a player cannot play a card, they must draw one card from the draw pile. If the drawn card can be played, they may play it immediately. If not, their turn ends without discarding.
• Special Cards: There may be special cards in the deck, such as Reverse, Skip, or Draw 2. These cards have additional effects:
• Reverse: Changes the direction of play (from clockwise to counter-clockwise or vice versa).
• Skip: The next player is skipped.
• Draw 2: The next player must draw two cards and their turn ends.
• Wild Card: A special card that acts as a joker and can be played on any card. The player then chooses the color to follow.

Winning

• The game ends when a player has discarded all their cards. This player is the winner of the round.

Strategic Tips

• Save special cards for strategic moments to prevent opponents from winning.
• Observe other players' cards to estimate which colors or numbers they might lack.
• Try to keep your hand cards varied to have a play option in each turn.

Situational Considerations

• If the draw pile is exhausted, shuffle the discard pile (except the top card) to form a new draw pile.

"Multicolore" is an easy-to-understand, yet strategically demanding game that can be enjoyed by young players and adults alike.
