Here you can find more information about them: Each family is formed by a grandma and a grandad, two mothers and two fathers, three daughters and three sons. Deck CompositionĪltogether, each deck includes 40 cards: a rules card, three wild cards and three Mendelius families (red, beige and ochre). The player with the lowest score at the end of the game wins. The winner of the round loses 10 points and the losers get a score equal to the value of the cards that the players hold after the round ends. You have to be the first player to combine the cards to form the genetic crosses required for each round. This also happens in other matching-card games, such as Continental Rummy and Gin Rummy. During each round several predetermined genetic crosses should be made.

The game consists of seven rounds of increasing difficulty. The aim is to be the first player to form different combinations or genetic crosses. Mendelius is a card game played with one or several Mendelius decks (one deck per every 2 players/teams is needed).
