The Game

In Linko, you take turns playing number cards, and the more cards of the same number you play, the better as cards score points at the end of the game. If someone else plays the same amount of cards with a higher number, however, your cards get stolen! Stealing cards can be good, but if you can't use them later, and end the game with cards in hand, they'll cost you points.

As soon as the deck runs out of cards or a player has no cards in hand, the game ends immediately. Each player scores one point for each card on the table in front of him, then loses one point for each card in hand. Whoever has the highest score wins. If players wish, they can play multiple rounds and sum their scores over the rounds to determine a winner.
