Origami

Parrot with an instant effect

Origami Masters compete for the title of “Best Origami Artist”! 90 cards comprise five families of 18 animals, from distinct natural habitats - farm, sky, ocean, savannah and lawn.

For a game, you select one family per player and shuffle the families together. In turn, you deal one card openly to each player until each player holds cards with a total of minimum ten folds; then you take your cards in hand and from now on keep them secret. Four cards are laid out openly as a “Draw Line”, the rest is stacked face-down.  

The active player draws cards for maximum four folds or plays an Origami from his hand or uses the effect of one of his Origamis on display. Cards you draw you take in hand and replenish the line from the stack. If you play an Origami, you display it and pay the cost of this origami by discarding Origamis from your hand with the exact number of folds. The Origami you played goes on one of your two collections as the top card; you have to stack the cards in a way that the names and card information for all cards underneath is still visible and there can never be a difference of more than once card in the number of cards in your two collections. The effect of an Origami is either an instant effect or an effect that applies in the final scoring or a special action that you can use once per turn, beginning with the next turn. After the stack has been played twice, you have one last turn and then you add the values of your Origamis plus points from scoring effects.

A very attractive game due to the very beautiful origami animal illustrations; the rules are simple and card effects introduce tactics!
