Elfer raus!*

Players aim to empty their hands by playing the starting card onto a grid on the table. The quantity and color of a card determine whether and where it can be placed, allowing players to play multiple cards per round or strategically hold back any number of cards. The game starts with the red 11, which is reflected in the title.
