HOW TO PLAY?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n\t\t<\/p>\n

The goal<\/strong> of the game is to collect five different cards<\/strong> and arrange them in a sequence according to the rule determined by the dice roll.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n\t\t<\/p>\n

Dice can result into 4 possible rules<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
    \n
  1. Each player draws six cards<\/strong> from their deck.<\/li>\n
  2. The youngest player rolls the dice. The result will determine which rule from the list must be followed to form the initial sequence.<\/li>\n
  3. At the start signal<\/strong>, all players simultaneously draw a card from their deck, trying to create the required sequence.<\/li>\n
  4. The first player to complete a valid sequence declares it, shows it<\/strong>, and – if the sequence is correct \u2013 he\/she chooses an opponent\u2019s Role Card<\/strong> whose role he\/she has to guess to earn points and win.<\/li>\n
  5. The first player to reach eight points <\/strong>\u2014 the minimum number of goats needed to form a small herd \u2014 wins the game!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
