RACKO: A Timeless Card Game by Ravensburger

• Manufacturer: Ravensburger
• Manufacture Date: 1976

Product Description:
RACKO is a classic card game by Ravensburger, introduced in 1976. Designed for 2 to 4 players, it offers an engaging challenge for strategy game enthusiasts. The game consists of 60 numbered cards, ranging from 1 to 60, and four cardholders. The estimated playtime is approximately 30 minutes.

The objective of the Game:
The main goal of RACKO is to arrange the numbered cards in ascending order in your cardholder. At the start of the game, each player receives a cardholder and a random set of 10 unarranged cards. During the game, players try to organize their cards by drawing from the draw pile and discarding cards that don’t fit. At the same time, they must strategically consider the cards that other players may want.

With each turn, a player can choose between taking the top face-up card or the top face-down card from the draw pile. The card being replaced is placed on the discard pile. In the two-player version, an additional rule applies: the sequence of cards must contain at least three consecutive numbers. The first player to build a complete ascending sequence of 10 cards wins the round. After several rounds, the scores are tallied, and the player with the highest score wins the game.

Variations and Extras:
The included instruction booklet offers several game variants. One such variant allows players to directly place new cards in any position in their cardholder, adding extra layers of strategy.
