Big Manitou

 

The Indian tribes vie for the most prestigious hunt, bisons, tipis, horses and the Holy Totem are the coveted prices. Each player starts with his stack of cards, several hunts are played. At the beginning of a hunt the spoils are laid out in hunting grounds, players select the necessary amount of cards from their stack, shuffle them and draw the top three cards. In his turn a player chooses one of his three cards and places it next to a hunting ground. When all have played 7 cards the Big Hunters in a ground go through a strength test, then the hunting grounds are scored. The tribe with the highest sum of hunters pays one tile penalty, then players receive spoils tiles according to the number of their cards in the grounds. After as many hunts as there are players the player with the highest score wins.
