Let’s rumble!

During the normal game of Ligretto, the Speed Machine throws action cards onto the table – at irregular intervals and accompanied by a constant ticking. For each action card the Speed Machine emits one of the 8 sounds. The player who has the corresponding sound card may take the current action card – no matter where it has landed. He may use it at once, and he should do so, since all action cards help to finish the game faster.

There are the following 5 action cards:
1. Joker: You can play it as you like (place it on any pile in the middle of the table, on any number). You may also keep the joker and place it on your Ligretto stack in order to use it later. 2. Card off! You can choose a card from your row and take it off the game. Place it face down next to your Ligretto stack. You can immediately replace this card by a new one from your Ligretto stack. 3. Here you are: You may take the uppermost card of your Ligretto stack and place it on top of another player’s Ligretto stack. 4. Every second: Henceforth, you may look at every second card in your hand and use it, if possible (according to the Ligretto rules, you are only allowed to look at every third card). 5. Additional card: Henceforth, you may have an additional card in your row
