📖 About This Game

In Inferno, players are trying to play as many cards as possible to a stack in the center of the table. But be warned! If a player is unable to play a card, they must take all the cards in the stack! Each player receives 12 cards. The starting player plays and announces a color and a value. Players, in turn order, must then add a card, which must be alike either in the color or in the value as the first out-played. If the player is unable (or does not want) to play a card to match, they must take all the cards played thus far (and then start a new round). In the end, all the red cards in hand are worth their face value and all the rest of the cards are worth one point. After a number of rounds, the player with the fewest points wins.
