About the game

What is Schotten Totten

In Schotten Totten, nine boundary stones lie between you and your opponent. In front of each, you build poker-like formations of three cards on a side. Whoever plays the higher-ranking formation wins the stone. And in a unique twist, you may use your powers of logic to claim a stone even before your opponent has played all three of his cards, by demonstrating that the stone is impossible for him to win. Successfully claim five stones, or any three adjacent stones, and you win the game.

In 2000 GMT published a rethemed version as Battle Line which includes an extra 10 "tactics" cards that modify the standard game play, and with cards that run from 1 to 10 (instead of 1 to 9).

The 2004 Edition of Schottentotten has these "tactics" cards too.

Esp) Dinámico juego de cartas para dos jugadores. Básicamente es una especie de Rummy o Buraco adaptado, con unas gráficas muy logradas y con una temática escocesa (aunque en realidad podría ser cualquier otra). Rápido, divertido y con reglas muy claras. Recomiendo como juego introductorio.
