Description

Roll the diamant die (a transparent d8) to determine the goal-number (= die roll + 4). Then any player is dealt this number of cards from the shuffled deck, that contains the various body parts: feet, legs, torsos, shoulders, and heads in lots of length and combinations.

Your goal is to build a "Langer Lulatsch" (Beanpole) with the right length (the goal-number as number of cards) to get the most points in the round (goal-number +3). Everyone who finishes a correct Lulatsch within the same trun, gets the number of cards of his figure.

The problem is to decide when to add which cards to your figure, as you have only one action per round deciding wether to draw a new card while discarding an old one (either from the drawpile or one of the discardpiles) or "build" your figure. And for example not all feet go with all legs as some have trousers and other have not. Once built you can't change the features and you have to build from bottom to top.

There is another round until the first player gets 50 points.
