Odin board game

Odin is a compact card game for 2 to 6 players aged 7 and up, in which the goal is to get rid of your cards as quickly as possible. Each deal is made up of rounds, and players take turns playing cards of different colours numbered from 1 to 9. On your turn you can play one or more cards or pass, and if you pass you must draw a card that has already been played. Because the cards played can be beaten by other players, careful planning ahead is essential to winning each round.

A deal ends when you play your last card, or when you are the starting player and all your remaining cards share the same colour or value. Players score one point for each card left in hand, and the game ends when a player fails to reach 15 points at the end of a deal. The player with the fewest points wins. A game takes around 15 minutes.
