<hr />
<div>==Objective==<br />
The more meerkats (and their points) you collected, the better. But be careful for the vultures!<br />
<br />
==Setup==<br />
* Each player takes a set of 1-15 cards.<br />
* Shuffle the 15 point cards (vultures and meerkats) and put them face down.<br />
<br />
==Gameplay==<br />
* The game consists of 15 rounds.<br />
* In each round, first turn over a point card.<br />
* Each player choose a card to play, face down. Then everyone reveal their cards at once.<br />
* All ties are ignored, then if the card (or the sum) is a meerkat it goes to the highest player, lowest if vulture.<br />
* If there are only ties, nobody gets it. It will be bided with the next card.<br />
* All players set aside the cards they played in their discard piles. Any player can consult any discard pile at any time.<br />
* Meerkat values 1 to 10<br />
* Vulture values -1 to -5<br />
<br />
==End of Game==<br />
* After 15 rounds, the game ends. All remaining point cards in the middle are discarded.<br />
* All players add up their scores. Meerkats are positively scored while vultures are negatively scored.<br />
* The player with the highest score wins.<br />
<br />
==Variants==<br />
===Tiebreakers===<br />
* Basic rules: If there is a tie, all tied players lose and the player with the next untied score wins.<br />
* Meerkat tiebreaker: If there is a tie, the tied player with the highest-valued meerkat card wins.<br />
<br />
===Discard Pile===<br />
* Discard visible: You can see the discard piles of each player.<br />
* Last card visible: You can see the last card played by each player.</div>ED Me
