Product Information

It can be played and enjoyed equally by children from 8 years old to adult with youth being at no disadvantage.

Ligretto Red, from the German company Schmidt Spiele, is a fast-paced, action-packed, easy to learn solitaire style card game.

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. As they play their cards this can open the possibility of moving cards from your deck – but only if you beat others to the play. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. However, due to limited options of cards in the stack, row or hand this can make gameplay more sedate. I was concerned that one of the boxes had been opened as one booster box was fully sealed, and the other was unwrapped.

Players need to pay attention to all cards being played and Ligretto requires fast reactions to get your cards out before your opponent.

The winner is the player who achieves the highest although you may choose to play a set number of rounds or first to a specific score. It may have been inspired by Rasender Teufel, invented 1927 in Leipzig, which had an almost identical set of rules and play style. It is also inspired by Dutch Blitz, [2] which was invented to teach children about colors and numbers easily.It wasn’t until we bought our own copy and I played a 2 player game with my daughter and we came to a stalemate where neither of us could clear the Ligretto pile. Each player deal out their own deck by shuffling their cards and place ten cards face up on the table to form a "Stack. Simultaneously, all players try to discard as many cards of the same colour as possible from 1 to 10. As things become more competitive, or with large numbers of players, inevitably players will stand and jostle for position to access the played cards in the middle of the table.
