Game play in Coloretto is simple: Either draw a card to play to a row, or take a row of cards to add them to your collection. A row can have at most three cards, so at some point everyone is forced to take a row. Once all the rows have been claimed, players start a new round, drawing or taking once again.
What are you trying to do with these cards? Collect huge sets - but only in three colors as every color beyond the third will cost you points. Jokers are highly-prized as they always match what you want, and +2 cards provide sure points, giving you a back-up plan if everything goes south in terms of the colors you're collecting.
Once only a few cards remain in the deck, the round ends and everyone tallies their score, choosing three colors of cards to score positively while any other colors count against you. Each color is scored using a triangular number system: the first card in a color is ±1 point, the second card is ±2 points, and so on. The player with the high score wins!
A two-player variant is included with some versions of Coloretto, with the only change being that rows can have only 1-3 cards placed in them, depending on the icons on the row cards.
We love the game it arrived quickly (just in time for my wife's birthday). We enjoy the two player version. It's fast and fun. Thanks.
Great filler game…easy to teach/learn and great replayability
Enjoy this game as a quick and easy to teach opener/filler. I would never pick up the original version tho as that artwork is just not doing anything good IMO. This is MILLIONS better and brings so much more to the game. Dont get the regular plain old one, color up your coloretto with the 10 anniversary version!
Must have set collection game
We have had success introducing this one to non-gamer family and friends. It plays quick, has a pretty small footprint and is very easy to teach. I'm glad we picked this one up. Surprised it took us this long to try it.

I use it for Century Spice Road, the character cards of LOTR - Journeys, and for the planet cards for Astro Knights. No cards have autocombusted so far... fingers crossed!
