About Der letzte Panther

A trick-taking game similar to Hearts, where players try to avoid negative points. The game is played in rounds, and ends when one player has -250 or less points, at which point the player with the highest total amount of points (even if negative) wins the game. The rules of for this game were included in Mü & More. Deck CompositionUses the Mü deck, which consists of 60 cards in 5 different colored suits. Each suit contains cards numbered from 0 to 9, with two each of the 1 and 7 cards. At 4-6 players, you use all the cards. At 7-8 players, remove all the “2”s except for the yellow “2”. At 3 players, remove all “1” and “2” cards. Round SetupTo set up a round, shuffle all the cards for your player count and deal them out equally to the players. To finish round setup, all players simultaneously pass 3 cards (with 6 or more players 2 cards), face down, to the player on their right (=counterclockwise). Gameplay in TricksThe player who has the green 5 starts the round, and the cards are played out in a series of tricks (clockwise). There is no trump, and you must follow suit if able. The highest card in the led suit wins the trick. If two cards of the same value (1s or 7s) are played in a trick, then the first played wins. The player who won the last trick leads to the next. Scoring PointsThis is a "point trick" game. At the end of a round, award the following values for cards taken in tricks: Each yellow card: +5 points Each red card: -10 points Each black “7”: -50 points In addition, winning the last trick of a round earns +50 points.
