Kuhhandel Master

You collect quartets of farm animals of different values. You bid for them using only 11 money cards. Instead of bidding you can call for horse-trading of a card. You and your opponent both take money in your hand. Whoever holds more money gets the card. The Master version adds “bonus” and “rat” cards to the game. In a bid for a bonus card the number of cards decides the bid. Rats score negative and you either take them immediately or buy yourself off by playing a face-down money card. If you take the rat later in the turn, you get all the money cards with it. You win if at the end you hold most of the points in your quartets.
