Goal
Collect as few points as possible. Each skier you collect is worth one point.
The winner of the game is the player who has collected the fewest points after 5 rounds. (Any other number of rounds can be agreed upon before the beginning of the game.)
Example card: the "30" card is printed with 3 skier icons — Example: 3 points.
Getting Started
Shuffle the card deck and deal clockwise, one at a time, 10 cards to each player. Each player picks up and holds their cards secretly. It is helpful to arrange them in numerical order before beginning play.
Making the Play Area
Next, turn four cards face up onto the play area (as seen in Figure 1), each card starts a row or "hill", so there are 4 total hills. Each hill will grow to the right as cards are played, but will never grow longer than 5 cards (including the first card) or there will be an "avalanche".
The remaining cards of the deck are put aside. They will not be used until the next hand is dealt.
Overview (from the box)
Based on the European card game sensation 6 Nimmt, Slide 5 is a quick-to-learn card game of luck and strategy.
Players arrange their cards on the playing surface building "hills." Once a hill gets 5 cards high, the 6th card will cause an "Avalanche" and that player must take all of the cards in that row, leaving the 6th card to start a new hill.
With all players revealing the cards they wish to play at the same time, there's always unpredictable fun and dilemma at every turn!
Slide 5 is easy to learn & instantly addictive!
