Alek, Bela, and Masha arrive at the hotel, where they find that there is a blackout. Masha and Bela decide to play a game of lino, a kind of card game. The rules are simple: the first player to put down a card with the same color as the rest of the cards will be the winner. The second player can prevent the other player from winning by putting down a "plus two action card" . The action card can be accumulated, passed down, or used as a universal card. The reverse card can also be used to stop the flow of the game.
