Strohmann Games Slide (German)

In Slide, you try to push your cards into your display so that you score as few points as possible. But keep an eye on your competition, because to win the game, you should always be one step ahead of it. At the beginning of the game, all of them receive sixteen cards, which you arrange in front of you in a concealed 4x4 grid. The cards have values from 1 to 10, with each number ten times included. Each round you take any face down card from your grid and place it all at the same time face up in the middle. Anyone who has the slide marker takes one of the revealed card and slides it from the side into its grid to close the gap caused when removing the card. Then follow the others clockwise. Continue the slide marker clockwise after each round and start the next. After 16 rounds, you all have a fully revealed 4x4 grid in front of you. Any number in a grid adjacent to an equal number is removed, and the sum of the values of the remaining cards gives the score. The lowest score wins.
