A blue version of the game has been published by Playroom Entertainment in North America and other English-speaking countries since 2009.

[1] The objective of the game is to get rid of your cards faster than the other players by discarding them in the middle of the table.

It may have been inspired by Rasender Teufel, invented in 1927 in Leipzig, which had an almost identical set of rules and play style.

Good Time Holding bought the rights for the game in 1999, and since 2000 it has been published by the subsidiary Schmidt Spiele.

Each card features a face of red, green, yellow, or blue colour, and is numbered from 1 to 10.

The game completes when a player discards all cards from their stack pile and declares "Ligretto stop!

"[7] At the end of each round, all cards on the table are flipped over, returned to the players and tallied.

Once the scores have been calculated, each player shuffles their set of 40 cards to start a new round.
