Animale Tattica

Tactics with dog or bear

Dog, Cat, Penguin and Bear amuse themselves with training combats, you command one of them and also deploy use spirit powers to win. Based on The Great Dalmuti, you play animal cards to shed cards and win if you are first without cards.

For each animal there are 16 cards of values 2, 3, 4, 5 6, 8, 12 + King, albeit in different amounts for each value. Formation cards show the denominations for each animal.

The starting player plays either one card, animal or ghost, king is the most powerful, or with several cards of the same value which can include King or a ghost of the same value; you can never play two Cat Kings or two Bear Twelves. All others in turn either play the same number of cards, but of higher value, than the previous player, or more cards that in total have the same value as the previously played ones. You must, always, play cards of the same value in a turn. Ghost cards have special powers, for instance they can represent two cards or you can use them for various cards or use their special effect when playing them. If you don’t want to play or cannot play, you retreat and draw two cards from your deck. If it is empty, you draw a ghost card or no card, if ghost cards are depleted, too. If you are out of cards in hand - your stack need NOT be empty! - you win.

Dalmuti elements are only the bettering of the previously played set and the card shedding; the additional mechanism like ghost cards or varying denominations for each animal are new, but complicate the elegant core mechanism of The Great Dalmuti, and your animal heavily influences your tactic, you soon learn how to play each animal.
