Style: Ligretto Red


Features

  • Ligretto is a card game for two to twelve players.
  • The aim of the game is to get rid of all your cards faster than all the other players by discarding them in the middle of the table.
  • Instead of taking turns, all players play simultaneously.
  • Play is fast and lively, and demands attention to the cards being played by others as well as ones own cards.
  • It can be played and enjoyed by the whole family.

Description

"In Ligretto, each player has their own deck of forty cards, with cards 1-10 in four colors and a unique symbol on the back to identify which cards are theirs. At the start of each round, each player lays out 3-5 cards (depending on the number of players) face up in front of them to create their row; places a face-up stack of ten cards, seeing only the top card, next to their row to create their Ligretto stack; and holds the remaining cards in hand face down. Playing at the same time, each player tries to empty their Ligretto stack. If a player has a 1 card on top of any face-up stack, they play it to the center of the table. If they have a 2 card of the same color as any 1 in the center of the table, they can place the 2 cards on the 1. All cards in the central piles must be played in ascending order and must be the same color. If a player can't play anything, they can reveal cards from the stack in their hand, counting them out in groups of three, then laying them face up while revealing only the top card. They can play this top card onto a central pile if the rules for doing so are met. As soon as a player empties their Ligretto stack, the round ends. Each player scores 1 point for each of their cards among the central piles, then loses 2 points for each card remaining in their Ligretto stack. In some versions of the game, the player with the highest score wins; in other versions, players then sort all the cards and play another round, with the first player to reach 99 points winning. A rules variant for Ligretto allows a player to play cards from their Ligretto stack or the cards in hand onto the cards in their row, but only if the numbers are in descending order and the colors of adjacent cards are not identical."

  • So much fun
Style: Ligretto Red
Went to a friend's house for board game night, ended the night by playing rounds and rounds of this. I had so much fun that before I left their house I bought this for myself. I've played it with other people and while a few of the rules are slightly confusing to new people, everyone picked it up within 15 minutes. 10 of 10 recommend if you like a fast pased competitive game. ... show more

  • Fast Frenetic Fun!
Style: Ligretto Red
This is a fantastic game for friends and family alike! The aim of the game is to score the most points by playing cards into the middle of the playing area while also getting rid of your "ligretto stack." Each player has a deck of 40 cards- 4 colors numbered 1-10. You shuffle your 40 cards and then lay out a given number based on the number of players face-up in front of you. You then remove another 10 cards from your deck- these ten become your ligretto pile and are set in a stack face-down next to your cards. the remaining cards in your deck become an extra deck you will use to score more points during the game. Then the game starts- everyone begins trying to get rid of all their cards in play (plus as many of the cards in their extra deck) by placing them in the middle. However, cards can only be placed on top of cards of the same color and have to be placed in numerical order. So, ones can be placed instantly but twos through tens have to be placed in corresponding piles (red 2 on a red 1, green 3 on a green 2, blue 4 on a blue 3, etc.). Thus the challenge is trying to get rid of, say, your yellow 3 before another player places theirs in the yellow pile, forcing you to have to keep yours until a new yellow pile gets started. This can lead to some fun scrambles when 2 or more players are trying to get rid of the same card. If you can't place any of your cards that are in play, you turn over three cards from your extra deck- if the top card is playable you can place it, and if the one under that is playable you can place it, and so on until the top card is not playable, at which point you turn over another three and repeat until you get an opportunity to play one of your face-up cards on the table. If you run through your entire extra deck and still have cards left in your ligretto pile you start your extra deck over again and continue going through it the same way. Whenever you place a card that's from your face-up cards, you replace it with one from your ligretto stack and continue to do so until all of your ligretto stack has been placed, at which point you can end the round by saying "ligretto stop." When a round ends, all the placed cards are re-sorted into each player's deck (each player's cards have a different design/color on the back for sorting) and counted up. Every placed card is worth a point, and every card remaining in the ligretto pile takes away 2 points. The player with the most points is the winner! You can choose to play multiple rounds and keep adding the scores of each round together to determine a final champion or you can just play one-round games. Because you get points for every card played, sometimes it is best to not end a round as soon as you get rid of your ligretto stack, especially if you run through your ligretto stack very quickly. You have to pay attention to how many cards you've placed vs how many cards others have placed and try to end the round when you feel like you've placed enough cards to win once everyone else has their ligretto stack penalty subtracted from their placed points. It becomes an engaging, tense game as you try to monitor other players, your row of cards, your extra deck, and all the piles in the center. It sounds like a lot to keep track of but it's actually very easy to learn and pick up on! Rounds go very fast- usually someone ends the round within a few minutes, maybe 12 at most and depending on how many are playing. Each ligretto box supports 2-4 players, so you can have up to 12 players if you get all three boxes. I have two, the red and blue, and that is plenty for my needs. I will say the game gets more frantic and fun the more players you have- when I get 7-8 people together it becomes quite a blast with people playing cards left and right and scrambling to play their card before someone swoops in and places the card first. It's a ton of fun for everyone who's ever played with me and I highly recommend it for anyone who likes fast card games. Big hit at group parties! This set, the red box, has the green triangle, pink hexagon, black square, and brown circle decks. The box itself is only 4x4x2.5 inches so it's super easy to take to parties and get-togethers. Grab a box of your choice and try it out! ... show more

Legretto is easy to learn and quick to play. It’s easy to move in and out of the game and does not require a set number of players. The game is a good combination of luck and skill, which makes it fun and challenging!
