Chimera

Loosely based on Tichu; two players as hunters take on one player, the Chimera. The Chimera roll is determined by an auction round. Hunters cooperate but try to collect the most valuable treasure cards for themselves. Whoever receives the open card in the preparation, begins the bidding – if you bid 40 or are last when two others have passed, you are the Chimera. Then cards are exchanged according to specifications. The Chimera plays one of 14 possible card combinations, the others must play the same combination, but of a higher value. The last one in play takes the trick. When someone has played all cards, you score your tricks in relation to height of bid and to whoever played all their cards first.
