PLAYED FOR YOU

Jagdfieber

CLosed season! DO Not Shoot!

Players try to catch lots of pray with their hunting cards. Hunters shoot at wolves, wolves catch hares and hares eat carrots. At the end you score cards you captured and lose points for hunters active in the Closed Season and cards in hand. Each player holds one hunter, two wolves, three hares, three carrots, one carrot/closed season card and a lodge. The lodge is for storing captured cards and for separating easy pry from prey. You go hunting on four days, then you win with the highest score,

A day of hunting starts with the „4“ on your lodge hidden and a complete set of cards. All choose a card and place if face-down above the lodge, then all cards are revealed and scored. If at least one hunter and Closed Season were played hunters are placed under their lodges and the player of Closed Season turns his lodge to show „4”. Without Closed Season and with a hunter you score starting at „The hunt starts here“; first a hunter shoots a wolf or goes home in hand, then remaining wolves catch hares and after that remaining hares eat carrots. Cards then still on the table or, when no hunter was played, all cards on the table turn into captured prey or easy prey according to exact instructions, easy prey is captured first in the next round.

Jagdfieber is a nice game of collecting cards; players with a good memory have an advantage; after two or three cards you can play more tactically as either hunter or Closed Season are gone for some players. A Closed Season played early not only earns you the 4 lodge points but can maybe also eliminate one or two opposing hunters! Good fun with nice illustrations!
