A fun cardgame where you have to completed 11 tasks in a row. But if you can't complete a task you have to try again in the next round. You need 2 decks of cards (including 2 jokers per deck).

Each round the players are dealt 10 cards. On your turn you take the first card from the discard pile or the stock. If you've completed your task for that round, you can play it open on the table. You may play more cards additional to your task or to other played sets. And you end your turn by discarding one card. Once a player empty his hand the round is over. Cards left in hand are (penalty)points.

The player who completed the eleventh task first wins. In a tie (more player completed the eleventh task in that final round) the player with the lowest points wins.
