Product Information

The more players you have the more you have to embrace the fun aspect of the game as it gets increasingly impossible to keep track of what’s going on, but oh boy it’s good! The game in its current form was designed by Michael Michaels and published in 1988 by the German company Rosengarten Spiele. This article includes a list of general references, but it lacks sufficient corresponding inline citations. Players need to pay attention to all cards being played and Ligretto requires fast reactions to get your cards out before your opponent. Players deal their ligretto stack of 10 cards face up onto the table and then between 3-5 cards (depending on player count) face up into their row.

The game ends when a player places the last card from their Ligretto pile in the centre at which point they shout LIGRETTO! Luckily the odd scuff or bend does not affect gameplay in the slightest and (in my humble opinion) only builds character.If you want to play with more than four players, expand this set with different coloured Ligretto games (sold separately). Ever fallen into the trap of ‘knowing’ with absolute certainty how to play a game that you never read the actual rules too?

Not a game for those who are precious about their games, Ligretto is a fast paced card shedding game where the cards will end up flying everywhere and at the very least suffer the odd crease as you’re bound to clash hands with opponents at some point. Add a second different colour box and up to eight can play, add the third and now twelve players can compete! Each player tries to roll the correct numbers with his coloured dice so that they can be placed on the board. Everyone will be playing at the same time, looking at their cards and seeing what’s available to play to the centre.Should that not be enough for you, theres also a game variation suggestion in the rules – oh how we love an extra variation! Sometimes I can’t move my cards but the other players are playing - sometimes it happens before or during a round. Little bit party game, little bit hand eye coordination, little bit quick reaction but a lot of frustration and even more (almost) swear words muttered. Players create shared piles of cards from 1-10 in the centre of the table in any of the four coloured suits.
