From BoardGameGeek

The Rainbow is a colourful card game where players are trying to collect a winning hand, using wit and intelligence to try and outsmart their opponents. This requires the use of memory, strategy and powers of deduction along the way. The goal of each round is to collect the 7 colours of the rainbow. Players work hard to collect and protect their hand but other players can use a number of special cards to stop, steal or swap cards that can totally obliterate a hand and ruin any chances of winning. Players can work with or against each other to be the first to collect 1 card of each colour whilst avoiding being left with any cards that count against your overall score. After a player wins a round, other players add up the cards in their hand and when they reach 120 points overall that player is out of the game (alternative endings are also included). Players are dealt 7 cards each and then take it in turns to draw and discard cards taking any appropriate action, this is where the fun (or not so much fun) begins. -description from the designer
