Ligretto is a card game for two to twelve players. The game in its current form was designed by Michael Michaels and published in 1988 by the German company Rosengarten Spiele. Since 2000, the game has been published by Schmidt-Spiele of Berlin, Germany. A blue version of the game has been published by Playroom Entertainment for North America and other English-speaking countries since 2009.[1]
The object of the game is to get rid of your cards faster than the other players by discarding them in the middle of the table. All players play simultaneously.[citation needed]
The game is based on and similar to Dutch Blitz.[2] Both card games use specially printed cards, but feature gameplay almost identical to Nerts, which is played with standard playing cards and is in turn based on Canfield, a variant of the classic Klondike Solitaire.[citation needed]
