Board game - Tropical Lunch (Helvetiq)

It is not easy for toucans to decide what to have for lunch: the choice is so vast that their eyes are dazzled! Not all the fruits around will be to the liking of these picky birds… but a keen... eye and a sharp instinct will help find the right treat! How to play: earn points by collecting sets of identical fruit cards. The player with the most points wins! Divide the deck into two parts: cards with toucans and cards with fruits. Shuffle the toucan cards into the second half of the fruit deck. Reveal 3 top cards and lay them face up next to the deck. In the second column, add another card from the deck with a slight shift so both cards are visible.On your turn, take all cards from any of the three columns and sort them by type. Also, stack them in a way that all cards are visible. If you draw a toucan card, immediately execute its effect and discard it. At the end of your turn, add one new card to each column, even to an empty one. When the deck is exhausted, and only one column remains on the table, the game comes to an end, and the players start counting points. Different fruits award victory points in various ways: based on the number of collected cards of one type (which can even be a negative value!) or for the largest set among players.How can toucans help? They allow you to give an unnecessary (or sometimes, on the contrary, useful) card to your opponent. Take one of their cards for yourself. Or protect all previously collected sets. The rainbow card is a joker – add it to any combination of your choice.The player with the most victory points becomes the best friend of the toucans and wins! The board game Tropical Lunch includes:- 70 cards,- game rules Game duration: from 15 minutesNumber of players: from 2 to 4
