Dudab

Shaman on number

A rather rare goal for a game – have a minimum of cards and points. The game features cards with the characteristics of color – red, yellow, green and blue; symbol – hand, mammoth, bat and fur, and value – 1, 2, 3, 4, and also two Shaman cards per color and eight Dudab cards.

You hold three cards, and two or three begin stacks. In your turn you can place a card or draw a card, you are allowed between two and five cards in hand. If you place a card, you put it one one of the stacks: On a number Number +1 or -1 with different color and symbol; or you place a Shaman of the same color or a Dudab: on a Shaman any number of the same color is possible.

If you place a Shaman: The next in turn must put Shaman or Dudab or turn over a card and draw as many cards. For a Dudab you name a characteristic that the next in turn must meet or draw a card. If you place the 6^th card in a row, you take the previous five for your scoring pile and put all cards from your hand but two on the discard pile or into your scoring pile.

When the draw pile is empty, you score: 1) +5 points for each Dudab in hand, remaining cards to your scoring pile. 2) Scoring pile: a) discard all pairs of Dudab + Shaman; b) score negative for all remaining pairs of Dudab and Number; c) score positive for numbers and d) +5 for each Shaman. After as many rounds as there are players you win with fewest points.

Well, the drawings are cute, the rules remind me of an upgraded UNO with more complex scoring rules. Having to draw cards when you have no Shaman or Dudab, can have dire consequences for your scoring pile due to limit for cards in hand.
