10.0/10
The best in-between longer games card game, ever. Easy to teach to non-gamers, clever enough for grognards. One of my very rare 10 ratings.

Description
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.

10.0/10
Perfect filler with just enough to chew on and some fun agonizing decisions. Some king making. Sometimes you get screwed. I wouldn't change a thing about this and will play many more times.
10.0/10
A super simple game to teach, with super quick and fun plays. You can do a lot of bad things to your colleagues or be nice and get screwed in the end hahaha The idea that after 3 colors the points start to go negative helps create a pleasant atmosphere of tension and makes the game even faster.
10.0/10
Really love this quick draft game. Hits some of my favorite mechanics. Push your luck, set collecting, and a tiny bit of take that.
10.0/10
Perfect little Card Game that´s easy to teach and still stays interesting over time. Works great with various player Counts, even has a nice 2 Player version that plays a little different, but works really good as well. Highly interactive and psychological :) Really deserves a 10 imo.
