Dutch Blitz: Blue Expansion Pack Rulebook

Contents
160 cards (four 40-card decks — carriage, bucket, pump and plow — printed in colours distinct from the original "Classic Green" box) and 1 rule sheet.
The four decks in this pack use the same card faces, numbers (1–10), and boy/girl illustrations as the original Dutch Blitz decks; only the deck-back colour scheme differs, so that a fifth, sixth, seventh or eighth player can be told apart from the four original players at the table.
How to Play
This pack does not change any rule of Dutch Blitz. It is a second, differently-coloured set of the same four decks, sold so that more than four people can play at once. For the complete rules of play — dealing the Post, Blitz and Wood Piles, building the Dutch Piles, ending a hand, and scoring — see the main Dutch Blitz rulebook; every rule there applies unchanged to this pack.
Playing with the Blue pack alone: Up to 4 players can play using only this pack, exactly as with the original Classic Green pack.
Combining with the original pack: For 5, 6, 7 or 8 players, combine this pack with an original Dutch Blitz pack. Each player takes one deck (of the up to eight now available) and otherwise sets up and plays exactly as described in the main rulebook. All players still share the same central row of Dutch Piles, regardless of how many players are seated.
Source Note
No separate rules booklet for this expansion could be located beyond the box's own contents line and the publisher's marketing copy transcribed above (BGG item 178494 and dutchblitz.com's product listing); BoardGameGeek's file library lists no files at all for this item. This companion note is compiled from those two official sources rather than invented. The expansion introduces no rules beyond enabling more seats at the table — see the main dutch-blitz rulebook for the actual play rules, which apply unchanged.
