Put numbers down
At the start of the game, each player must create sequences with stones that together have at least 30 points. Such a series must always consist of at least 3 stones. In addition, you can lay a series with 3 stones of the same color with consecutive numbers. Example: a black 3, black 4 and black 5. Are you unable to make a valid series based on color? Then you can make a series with 3 stones with the same number value. Example: black 13, red 13 and yellow 13. Are you unable to make 30 points with the current stones on your board at the beginning of the game? Then you take one stone from the pot. When each player has made a valid series of at least 30 points, the game can continue. The number of points is no longer important for the following series of numbers. You can create whole series yourself, but also one or more individual tiles to supplement existing series of numbers. If you cannot make a valid move, you take a stone from the pot and it is the next player's turn.
Jokers
In addition to numbers, there are also stones in the game with a joker. The joker takes on any number value and any color. This makes the joker a valuable and highly sought after stone. During the game, each player can exchange the joker on the playing field with the stone of the corresponding color and number value. You can use the joker again or keep it for a later moment. The joker can officially be used at the beginning of the game to reach 30 points. Usually people play that you are not allowed to open with the Joker.
The winner
The first player to get rid of all his playing pieces is the winner. The points that the other players have left can be entered on
speluitslagen.nl to determine a winner over several games. Then everything is neatly kept for you and you can also view statistics of your played games. You can also share the results of played matches with your fellow players and other friends. If a player has a joker on the board, it counts for 25 points.
