Poten társasjáték

Angol leírás

Collect sets of at least 4 cards of the same colour or paw print. Keep the best cards in your hand, discard the others cleverly, and score the most points!

Contents

49 animal cards, each with 1 paw print and 1 colour (7 types of paw print and 7 colours).
6 doublers.

Setup

Shuffle all the cards well.
Give each player 3 cards for their hand.
Place the rest face down on the table as a draw pile. Lay 3 cards face up beside it: this is the market.

Gameplay

The player with the smallest shoe size starts. Play then continues clockwise. During the game, keep your cards in your hand. On your turn, take 1 action:

Draw. Take 1 card from the market, or blindly from the draw pile. Then top up the market to 3 cards.
Discard. Put 1 card from your hand back into the market. The market may then hold more than 3 cards.

Play a doubler. Place a doubler on the opposite side of the draw pile from the market. You may then take 2 actions. For example, draw 2 cards, or draw 1 card and discard 1.
Pass. Place all your cards face down in front of you. You take no more actions for the rest of the game.

End of the game

The game ends immediately when one of these situations occurs:

The fifth of the 6 doublers has been played. Only the active player still finishes their turn.
All players have passed.
The draw pile and the market are empty.

Only count your points at the end of the game. Each player uses the cards in their hand to form the sets worth the most points. You may group cards by colour or paw print. Each card counts toward only 1 set. Is a card not in a set of at least 4? Then it's worth 1 minus point. Doublers give no minus points.

The player with the most points wins. In a tie, the tied players win together.

2-Player Variant

Remove all cards with a horse paw print and all green cards.
