Das wurmt

Das Wurmt is a family card game for 2 to 5 players in which hidden card values make worms grow one turn at a time. The central decision is numerical and immediate: points are earned when a worm reaches a total length of 10, 11 or 12, while totals above 12 cost points, so each played card carries both opportunity and risk. The deck contains 110 playing cards, and the rules create a clear sequence of play. A worm card is placed head up onto a matching worm, then the previous head is revealed and the visible card values are added to determine the new total. If the result lands below 10, the worm stays in play; if it reaches the scoring range, the revealed card goes to the positive side of the score area; if it exceeds 12, that card moves to the negative side. Action cards add further control by removing a visible worm card, refilling a hand to 5 cards, bringing a new worm into play, or letting a player look under a worm head before committing a move. Robert Brouwer designed the game, and Doris Matthäus gives the cards a lively illustrated cast of worms, insects and garden details. About 20 minutes of play keeps rounds brisk, with enough turns for timing, memory and risk reading to matter. The bilingual DE/GB edition works well for family tables, game nights and travel-friendly sessions where a compact card format and fast scoring help the next round start quickly.
