Ravensburger Level 8

Be the first to collect all eight correct card combinations to win!

Eight tasks, ten new cards per round and always the question: How do I solve my task to advance one level? Card combinations must be collected and laid out. Simple rules and tricky tasks provide a lot of variety, excitement and fun. Two to six players fight their way to victory level by level.

At the beginning, each player receives a level card with all eight tasks and a level indicator card, which always shows which level you are at. The 98 playing cards are shuffled for the first round, and each player receives ten cards in his hand. The remaining cards are placed face down in the middle, with the top card being for the dealer, who places them face up in front of him to open his discard pile. During the course of the game, each player will also form his own discard pile.

Now it starts: First, the player must pick up a card – either the top card from the draw pile or the top card from any discard pile. Then the player can play the currently requested card combination. In the first round, for example, these are two sequences of three. Here, for example, the cards with the numbers 2, 3 and 4 can be laid. The player who has solved his level-task can see if he can lay cards with his remaining cards to his level or to the levels of his fellow players. In the first round the triple sequences can be extended, whereby it does not matter whether cards are laid in ascending or descending order. So, to stay with the example, it should be a 1 or 5. The versatile, but rare jokers can always be created. At the end of his turn, the player must discard a hand card to his discard pile. Whoever manages to discard and put on all ten cards ends the current round and may move up two levels. The other players may move up one level if they have also completed their task. By the way, it is also allowed to annoy your fellow players. For this purpose, there is a “Sit out” card, which lets a player sit out in the next turn.
