Goal of the game
As quickly as possible, discard your cards in hand in Nana Toridori (ナナトリドリ). If you are the last person having cards, you will lose one of your two penguins.
You will lose the game if you run out of penguins.
Setup
Every player starts a new round with 8 cards in their hands.
Player are not allowed to reorder their card in hand, this is the golden rule.
There will be a draw pile made up of the remaining cards.
The last player to give up a penguin will start playing card(s) in the central area. For the first round, a random player is picked.
There are exactly 9 cards of each value, from 1 to 7.
Gameplay
When it's your turn, you should either:
- play card(s) from you hand from an higher value than the existing ones,
- or pass and draw a card from the central pile
Play: You can only play adjacent cards with the same value from your hand. For instance, 2 consecutive 1 which will worth 11.
11 is higher than a single 7 card : 11 > 7. 44444 is also higher than 11.
There is no limit regarding how many cards you play, as long their are adjacent and with the same value
After playing your cards, you can get back in your hand the cards from the central area.
Pass: If you can't or don't want to play card(s), you can pass and draw a single card from the draw pile, either keep it and place it in your hand, or discard it.
When the draw pile is depleted, you cannot draw anymore but still can pass.
If all players passed, then the central area is cleared and the player with the higher value can start a new turn. If you don't have any card left in your hand, you are out of the current round, and wait for the other to players: your penguin is saved!
