There are five different colored chips, with six cards, zero through five, in each of the colors. The cards are dealt out, and then players take turns playing a card and taking any available chip. When one color has all six cards played on it, then the game is over, and players use the last card played in each category to value their chips. The highest total value wins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDescription of 1994\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/boardgamepublisher\/20\/milton-bradley\"\u003eMilton Bradley\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ere-issue\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuandary\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e, for 2-4 players:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA game of placement, shares and nerve by\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/boardgamedesigner\/2\/reiner-knizia\"\u003eReiner Knizia\u003c\/a\u003e, this is a lovely edition with nice, heavy tiles akin to Mah-jong pieces in weight and feel. Players in turn lay numbered pieces on tracks curling to the centre, and then take a share in any colour. The round ends when a track is filled. Scoring is based on your total share multiplied by the value of the final tile played on each track. So if you are collecting blue shares, I'll try and lay a blue 1 as near last as possible. Then you'll want to play a blue 5 to raise your possible score, but must take a share in a different colour. Same game, different production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDescription of 2003\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/boardgamepublisher\/17\/fantasy-flight-games\"\u003eFantasy Flight Games\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ere-issue,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLoco!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e, for 2-4 players:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere is the FOURTH version of the game that was originally\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlinke Pinke\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eonly this time, the added \"rule\" is that whenever you play a card with a value of \"0\", you must say \"Loco!\" aloud or forfeit your opportunity to select one of the colored chips.
