Review by Worthy
Reibach and Co. is a card game that pleased us so much, we played twice. 10 commodities, 9 cards each. Each turn you get 3 'turn points'. Draw or play cards, one point each. There are 3 up cards to choose from on your draw. Make runs of like commodities in order to rank first in that commodity and thus score (2nd place get a token point, 1st place 3 or 4 points when no 2nd place). The small catch? To start a pile, you 'kill' a card by turning it face down. Since cards never return to play, you change the amount needed for a majority in the commodity that you 'kill'. You must always show the others what card you are killing, its up to them to remember it. Sound simple? It is! And Fun! Add in a x2 card (that also prevents a pile from ever being expanded) and a couple of jokers and you got this nifty card game. Add 3 scoring rounds (ala Union Pacific) by putting in cards with initiate scoring when enough on them are turned up. Quick to learn, quick to play.
