Cartalis is a casual card game for 2-6 players.
The goal of the game is to win 10 points before any other player does.
There are 3 types of cards: NUMBERS, PRIZES and EVENTS.
- NUMBERS range is from 1 to 7.
- PRIZES cards indicates when the players must play highest or lower NUMBERS in order to win the prize indicated. That prize could be POINTS or EVENT cards.
- EVENT cards represent special habilities (draw extra cards, steal points,etc..) that help players to take advantage in game.
Game is sequenced on rounds. For X players, on each rounds, X+1 PRIZE cards are revealed. The active player chooses PRIZES betting order. Each player can only bet for two prizes, so it's important to decide for which PRIZES bet each round.
When a PRIZE is decided, the players that want to bet for it, say "CAR-TA-LIS" and place a number from their hands on the table. Winner player takes the prize indicated on PRIZE card, and the active player selects a new PRIZE to bet.
The POINTS are added to the winning player, and if a player gets an EVENT card, can use it to take advantage.
The game ends when a player reaches 10 points.
