Description

The cards in this game feature some very cute animals by Doris Matthaeus. It is a trick-taking game played with changing partners over several hands. In each hand, the players try to be the first to get rid of all of their cards, but there are special cards that can add or subtract from a player's score. Thus, players' scores are based on how early in the hand they get rid of all their cards and what cards they take in tricks.

Players: 4 - 7
Aged 10 and up
Length: 60 minutes
