As stated in another post, AMIGO will release Njet! together with 3 other trick-taking games (Mü, Meinz and Was sticht?) in a box called 4-in-1.

As I have noticed that there are several quite significant changes between the Njet! editions, but I'm not a really experienced Njet!-player, I'd like to get your opinions about the changes:

1. More cards: 60 cards in 4 suits instead of 40 cards.

2. Card values are: 3 zeros (NEW), 4 sevens (NEW), one of each other from 1 to 9.

3. Zeros are now potential super-trumps and give points when captured.

4. Playable by 2 to 5 players (due to the higher number of cards)

5. Different bidding opportunities on the Njet!-board: Every row has now 5 options.

5a) Starting player: 5 different players

5b) Discarding: In addition to the one, two or no discard options, there are two more:
- discard two cards (which must not be zeros)
- pass two cards to your right-hand neighbour

5c) Trump: A "No trump" option was added

5d) Super-trump: Same as before (only with zeros instead of ones)

5e) Points: There is an additional "-2" option, which completely turns the game around. Each trick and/or captured zero counts negative 2 points.

If there are uneven teams, the start player chooses his partner(s) and nominates one player of the smaller team (including himself), whose tricks and captures count double in the tally.

As I have only played several hands of Njet!, I would ask the opinions of more experienced players about the impact of these changes.

Stefan Dorra writes today in his website ( http://www.dorra-spiele.de ) about the new revised Njet! and what are the differences between Goldsieber's edition and this new edition from Amigo:

"Amigo hat soeben mit “4 in 1” eine neue Kartenspielsammlung veröffentlicht, zu der ich auch mit einem Spiel beitragen konnte. In der Schachtel befinden sich die 4 Stichspiele Meinz (Günther Burkhardt), Mü (Frank Nestel), Njet (Stefan Dorra) und Was sticht? (Karl-Heinz Schmiel). Njet wurde in vielen Punkten gegenüber der Goldsieber-Ausgabe von 1997 überarbeitet. Es eignet sich jetzt für 2-5 Mitspieler. Es können auch drei Spieler gegen zwei Spieler antreten oder zwei gegen einen. Die Anzahl der Beutekarten wurde um 50 % erhöht und wenn in der Punktezeile das Minus-2-Feld nicht abgedeckt wird, wird sozusagen Ramsch gespielt. Für jeden gewonnenen Stich gibt’s dann 2 Minuspunkte."
