How to Play Potato Man | Official Game Rules

The richest farmers are looking forward to harvesting the biggest potatoes. But POTATO MAN gets the small spuds into the best potato sacks.

In this trick-taking game, the player who will be successful in the end is not necessarily the player who has taken the most tricks with his potatoes or has the most powerful cards in his hand.

Instead, you have to use cultivated cunning to turn your harvest into potato sacks filled with high-quality potatoes...


Components

  • 14 red potato cards
  • 13 blue potato cards
  • 12 green potato cards
  • 13 yellow potato cards
  • 15 sack cards in 5 colors
  • 3 neutral sack cards
  • Instructions

Setup

Shuffle the potato cards thoroughly and deal them out according to the number of players:

  • 2 players: Each player gets 12 potato cards in his hand and forms a draw pile of 8 additional face-down cards in front of him.
  • 3-4 players: Each player gets 12 potato cards in his hand.
  • 5 players: Each player gets 10 potato cards in his hand.

The remaining potato cards are put aside unseen.

Lay out the 15 sack cards face up, sorted by color, so that the number of cards can be clearly seen. In addition, you need pencil and paper to note down the results.
