Game Linko (PL)
Lay sets of cards on the table to score as many points as possible. But beware! Other players watch your moves closely and plan how to thwart you!

Linko is a simple and dynamic game where players constantly steal points from each other. The goal is to keep as many cards in front of you while getting rid of as many cards in hand as possible. The game involves much interaction, and wise planning of moves is key to victory.

How does it work?
Each player receives 13 cards, and an additional 6 cards are revealed as a public draw pool. You can also draw face-down cards from the deck.
On your turn, you can play any number of cards from your hand, but all must have the same value (or be jokers).
Played card sets are placed on previous ones — this is important because only the top set of your own and opponents’ cards matters.
After playing cards, compare your set with opponents’ sets. If you played the same number of cards but with a higher value than another player’s top cards, you must steal their set.
Stolen cards can be added to your hand or not. If not, the robbed player decides whether to return them to their hand or discard and draw new cards. Either way, stolen cards are removed, and the next lower layer is revealed.
After comparing sets with all players, the turn passes to the next player.
The game ends when a player plays their last card or the draw deck is exhausted. Each card collected in front of you scores 1 point, and each card left in hand scores -1 point. The winner has the most points.

Why you’ll love this game?
Looking for a simple-to-explain yet engaging game? Linko is for you! After the first round, all rules will be clear to new players, and the satisfaction from planning and successful plays will be immense!
It’s also a treat for fans of negative interaction — the game is about stealing points from each other, so opponents will often foil your plans. Sometimes it’s worth sacrificing a less important set to draw matching cards and make a spectacular move!
The instructions describe two additional game modes, advanced and expert, offering a challenge once you know the mechanics well. There’s also a special two-player mode making duels even more intense!
