Panda

Monkey, tiger or panda vs. Dragon

Monkey, tiger, crocodile and panda cause chaos in the palace, even the Dragon of the four Winds has his problems with them. 42 number cards from 1 to 13 in colors blue, purple, green and red, plus four Dragon cards of various values and four Pet cards without value are shuffled; you are dealt eight cards. Twelve rounds are played or rounds until someone has scored 222 points; you only score the seventh trick of a round.

For a trick, you play one card or two of the same value as a pair, and always higher than all previous ones, or you play your lowest card; in case of identical values, color is the deciding factor: blue < purple < green < red. Dragons beat numbers, Pets beat dragons and have special abilities. In the first six tricks of a round, Dragons and Pets are stronger than the number cards, the highest Dragon or the highest-ranked Pet takes the trick, special abilities of Pets are not used. The seventh trick, however, is taken by the highest number card in the trick, and you score the value of this card; as you win - when the game end condition is triggered - with fewest points, you should avoid taking the seventh trick. In this seventh trick, you also score for Pets; you call their name when playing them and can use the special ability: Monkey - Points for another player, to; Tiger - your point total goes to zero; Crocodile - all others score the highest number; Panda - in the next round you select 8 out of 14 cards. Special cards Financier and Ambassador double or reduce points.

Simple and sophisticated at the same time - Dragon now tops number or Monkey the number? A nice version of trick-taking card games!
