Katzenjammer Blues

Designed by Reiner Knizia. Published by Goldsieber Spiele 1998. 2-6 players, age 10 and up. Takes about 30 minutes. English edition published by Rio Grande Games. It's showtime. The night-time cats are wailing their blues. The coolest feline foursomes are looking for gigs. Their managers bid high just to get them an audition. Finally all that counts are mice. It has a mix of rummy and auction rules. The game ends once 20 points totally have been scored and a 5-point penalty for most jokers. A quick, cutthroat card game, colourfully decorated with cartoony blues-band cats and mice.
