Mammut

Get a Share of the hunt

After the mammoth hunt the prey is divided, everyone wants as much as possible, but if you are too greedy you might lose your share to your neighbor. The prey tiles are dropped out of the bag onto the table; you can shift them to spread them but not turn them over. You play 5 rounds all in all, each consisting of taking a share and then scoring the share. In turn, players can either pick up any number of tiles from the middle and set them out as their share on the table or take all tiles from another player, return at least one to the middle and keep the rest and set it out. Before taking a share you can play any number of cards, either prey card which are effective immediately for yourself, or scoring cards which take effect in the scoring phase. The last player taking a share gets all the remaining tiles. Then the shares are scored: First you reveal all scoring cards and question mark tiles. Then you score for axes, fur, tusks, meat, fire and animals, the shaman decides ties, if he is involved, he wins, otherwise the player sitting nearest to him. In case of some of the items you might lose points if you have fewest of the items. For tiles showing an animal you receive a marker tile for the animal, you can only have one such tile of a kind. After 5 rounds there is a final scoring for these tiles.

Mammut is an acquisition game with optimization mechanisms and demands lots of observation, a bit of memory and a fine nose for when you should grab the lot from the middle or when you should play a card or when you must take something to ruin a majority for another player.
