Can you reach the top of the mountain while collecting as few points as possible?
Deal 6 cards to each player, use the remaining cards as a draw pile, then flip over one card from the draw pile to create the discard pile.
On your turn, you can either play a card, draw a card, or quit the round.
When you play a card, you have to either play a card of equal value to the top card of the discard pile or play a card of that value plus one.
If the top card of the discard pile is a 6, you've reached the top of the mountain. Now you can play a llama card. Is the top card a llama? Now you can play a 1 and start climbing the mountain all over again.
If you can't play, you've got a tough choice to make. Do you draw a card and potentially gain more points, or do you quit with the points you have?
The round ends when either a player plays their last card or all the players have quit. Then, everyone collects point chips equal to the cards that remained in their hand.
Keep playing until someone collects 40 points. The player with the fewest points wins!
Easy to learn yet tricky to win, L.L.A.M.A is an instant classic the whole family will love.
