About the Game

A simple trick-taking game for 4 players.

EQUIPMENT: The deck consists of 4 suits of 9 cards each: Birds, Domestic Fowls, Wild Animals and Domestic Animals. Of the Wild Animals, the Lion card is the wild card and super trump: it counts as any suit and trumps any suit.

PLAY: cards are shuffled and dealt evenly to all players, with the person to the left of the dealer leading the first card. As with trick-taking games, the other players must follow suit or place what card they have, with the highest ranking card of the suit led, or the Lion card, taking the trick.

GOAL: to be the person with the most cards from one of the suits.
