About this game
Draw a card and add it to any row, or take an entire row to your collection. Collect sets of three colors for points, but a fourth color of any type counts against you. The agonizing decision: add a good card to a row an opponent wants, or take a mediocre row before it gets worse. With just these two actions and some special cards, Coloretto creates more tension per card than most games create per hour. A Michael Schacht classic that inspired the Zooloretto family. The perfect 20-minute filler.
