Das Schmitz-Spiel

The 60 cards show 60 different people belonging to 5 families located in the Rhineland area named with the typical Rhineland dialect. Each family consists of 12 people marked with one of the 12 symbols. On your turn, play a card face down announcing the person on it. The person must belong to the same family or must have the same symbol as the card played before. The next player may check if his predecessor was right or not. If he decides to check, he reveals the card and the player who was wrong must draw 2 cards as a penalty. Some cards have a special function. The player who first got rid of all his cards wins.
