No Prob-Lama

Nine cards lie face down in front of you on the table, neatly in a rectangle. Sounds simple, right? But in No Prob-Lama it is all about collecting as few points as possible, and that turns out to be quite a job. Bit by bit you turn cards over and swap them with cards from the pile. Whoever has the lowest value in front of them at the end of a round takes a wooden llama as a reward. Collect three and you win. The beauty lies in the risks you dare to take. Three identical cards in a row or in a column even score minus points, and the higher those numbers, the better for you. But watch out: if another player turns all their cards face up before your row is finished, you are left with a pile of plus points. And you really do not want that. So do you play safe with low cards, or do you gamble on that juicy row of high numbers? And then there are the special cards that turn everything upside down. With the drama llama you push extra points over to an opponent. The karma llama lets you give away minus points, to everyone's delight except your own. Meanwhile you keep an eye on the card you discard, because your neighbour must not be able to put it to good use. A game full of giggling, teasing and just a little too much risk.
