Kuhhandel

Aim of the game is for all players to have complete quartets of animals on display, you win with the most valuable ones won either in auction or trade; animals have values 10, 40, 90, 160, 250, 350, 500, 650, 800, 1000. You begin with 2 0-cards and 5 cards of value 10; the current starting player turns up a card and offers it; all can bid. The highest bid wins and now the auctioneer can buy it themselves and pay the winner the bid; or the winner takes the card and pays the auctioneer. For a trade you make a secret offer for a card of another player that you also own yourself, the other player makes a counterbid, the higher bid takes the card from the other player. Donkey cards give money to all players before they are auctioned.
