What is Coloretto

Game play in Coloretto is simple: Either draw a card to play to a row, or take a row of cards to add them to your collection. A row can have at most three cards, so at some point everyone is forced to take a row. Once all the rows have been claimed, players start a new round, drawing or taking once again.

What are you trying to do with these cards? Collect huge sets - but only in three colors as every color beyond the third will cost you points. Jokers are highly-prized as they always match what you want, and +2 cards provide sure points, giving you a back-up plan if everything goes south in terms of the colors you're collecting.

Once only a few cards remain in the deck, the round ends and everyone tallies their score, choosing three colors of cards to score positively while any other colors count against you. Each color is scored using a triangular number system: the first card in a color is ±1 point, the second card is ±2 points, and so on. The player with the high score wins!

A two-player variant is included with some versions of Coloretto, with the only change being that rows can have only 1-3 cards placed in them, depending on the icons on the row cards.

Very light and fast, and that is good, but I don´t find the game very fun.

de 2 a 5, cartas Conoci antes su hermano mayor Zooloretto, aun asi es el mismo juego. Mas que a puntuar la gente va a joder a los demas, al menos en mis partidas. Jugado en la BGA. Una vez jugado en cartas, el control no es tan "controlable" sobre todo si quieres llevar la puntuacion de tus contrincantes

Excellent filler card game. Decisions are much harder than it may seem. Both scoring systems work well, and strategy changes considerably.

Cuando mi sobrina lo trajo a casa, fui escéptico... tres partidas después pensé porque no era más popular. Juegardo.
