About the game
Rainbow Wars is the first expansion for the card game Schnapp die Möpse and consists of 54 Game Cards of which 39 are beautifully illustrated. This expansion you not only get well known action cards but a lot of new aggressor and defense cards along with new "No"-Cards, which help to save your hand against attackers. You get new "addional cards" which help to play two cards oder make a normal card impenetrable against deactivation. Really helpful is a new reaction card which allows you to tell a player to play a no-card for you. In Rainbow Wars we get a common enemy in form of a rainbow cat which is able to steal the unicorm pugs. Distract it with laser pointers or defeat it with the unicorn pug. Play with up to 7 players. —description from the publisher (translated) Rainbow Wars ist die erste Erweiterung für das Kartenspiel Schnapp die Möpse und besteht aus 54 Spielkarten, wovon 39 Spielkarten mit schönen neuen Illustrationen ausgeschmückt wurden. Die Erweiterung zum Grund-Kartenspiel bietet neben einigen wenigen bekannten, eine Menge toller neuer Aktionskarten, mit denen man noch mehr Angriffs-, sowie Verteidigungsmöglichkeiten erhält. Neben einer neuen "Nein-Karte", gibt es auch diverse Zusatzkarten mit denen man unter anderem gleich 2 Aktionskarten spielen darf, einen Mops mit einem weiteren Mopspunkt ausstatten oder sogar eine Aktionskarte durchboxen kann, damit sie gar nicht erst mit einer Nein-Karte aufgehoben werden darf. Sehr hilfreich ist eine neue Reaktionskarte mit der man einen beliebigen Möpsemopser dazu zwingen kann eine Nein-Karte zu spielen. Natürlich geht dies nur, wenn er eine zum Ausspielen besitzt. In Rainbow Wars kommt ein gemeinsamer Gegner ins Spiel: Die Regenbogen Katze. Lenke sie mit Laserpointern ab oder besiege sie mit dem Einhornmops. Nun kann auch mit bis zu 7 Spielern gespielt werden. —description from the publisher
