In Koffer, Katze & Sombrero, you're picking up luggage at the airport, and to make things easy for yourself, you want to pick up everything in the proper order.
The deck contains 40 cards numbered 1-10 in four colors, and to set up, you shuffle the deck, then lay seven cards in a row with one end being designated the front. Each player takes seven chips.
On a turn, you will take one card from the row, with the first card being free, the second card requiring you to place a chip on the first card, the third card requiring you to place chips on the first two cards, and so on.
When you take a card, you start a pile in that color or add it to an existing pile — but if the number on this card is lower than the card it's covering, you must turn the new card face down. In the future, you can place any value face up on a face-down card.
When you can't fill the row to seven cards at the end of your turn, complete the round so that everyone has the same number of turns, then tally your score, with face-up cards being worth as many points as their number, face-down cards worth -1 point, and chips worth 1 point.
To add more variety, you can draw three of the fifteen special cards at random. Each card has either an end-of-game scoring effect or a condition that affects play during the game.
