ERI rules

An exciting game for 2-6 people. Suitable for any age.
The batch can take from 20 to 50 minutes. You will need a pen and paper to keep score.

There are 63 unique cards in the game. Each card shows one, two or three different figures. Each figure on the card is depicted in one of three colors. Each card has a value of 1, 2 or 3 points, according to the number of figures depicted on it.

Before the start of the game, each player receives 5 random cards from the total number of cards. The game begins with placing one random card on the playing field from the total number of undealt cards.

Players go in order of rotation. On his turn, the player can place one of his cards on the playing field, or not, if this is not possible according to the rules of the game, or if the player wants to skip a turn.

Each of the cards laid out must touch at least one of the sides of a card already lying on the playing field. The resulting sequences of cards, continuous in a single direction, form lines.

The player is allowed to place a card on the playing field only if this card does not contain such figures of the same colors that are already present on the cards in those lines that the laid out card will continue.

For the card laid out during his turn, the player receives points. The number of points is equal to the sum of the value points of all cards in the lines of all directions that the laid out card continued, and the value points of the laid out card itself.

If the player places one of his cards on the playing field, then at the end of his turn he receives a random card from the total number of undealt cards.

The game ends when the first player places his last card on the playing field, or when none of the players has the opportunity to make a move according to the rules of the game. The player with the most points at the end of the game wins.
