Rainbow

Two players duel to form rainbows by placing cards into a shared row, aiming to collect more cards than the opponent. On a turn a player plays 1–3 cards but must alternate between flipping a card already on the table and placing a new one; multi-card plays require flipping an existing card. Cards may be played standard (face value showing) or blind (back side showing). Playing or flipping a card in a colour already present in the row, or playing a black “shadow” card, loses the round and gives the entire row to the opponent. Completing the row with the sixth missing colour forms a rainbow and earns those six cards. The game ends when the deck cannot refill hands; the player with the larger personal pile wins.
