Linko

Players take turns playing one or more number cards of the same value, optionally using jokers, to build sets in front of them. Playing more cards in a set increases its endgame value, but opponents can capture those sets by later playing an equal-sized set of a higher rank and force the captured cards back into hand. The game uses a shared display and a deck; players draw to refill hands and may choose whether to take captured cards into hand or let opponents redraw. The round ends when the deck is exhausted or a player empties their hand, then players score one point per card on the table and lose one point per card in hand. Multiple rounds can be played and scores summed.
