Note: This game includes English and German.

In Blöde Kuh, players start with a hand of nine cards, each showing one of four different farm animals. In turn, they either play one of the cards to the discard pile, triggering an effect that depends on the kind of animal: draw a card, everyone passes a card, etc., or they play two of the same cards. In that case, the normal effect doesn't apply, but the next player gets a negative card and places it openly in front of them. This card is passed on whenever someone plays a pair of that animal.

When a player gets rid of their last card, the round ends and the two players with most remaining hand cards receive penalty points, to which they add the penalty points on the negative cards in front of them.

The player with the fewest points after three rounds wins.

Note: This game is in German. The game itself is language independent. English rules can be found here.

In Pets, players want to collect animals – but only if they'll score points during the game's three scoring rounds.

The card deck includes 105 cards showing seven types of animals, with the animals numbered 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21 and 24; this number indicates how many of that type of card are in the deck. Each player starts with seven cards in hand, and three rows of ten face-up cards are placed on the table. On a turn, a player takes one of three actions:


Play cards from his hand onto the table. You can play only one type of animal, you cannot already own this type, and you must play more than are shown by an opponent. The opponents cards of this type must then be placed onto the deposit pile.
Pick up cards from a row. You take all the cards of a single type from either end of any row and add them to your hand, then place the card in the row adjacent to these cards (and all cards of the same type) in the scoring area.
Place one card from your hand at the end of a row.


If a row is emptied, create a new row of ten cards from the deck. As soon as six cards of the same type are in the scoring area, players score points for their holdings. If you hold some number of "24" cards, for example, you score a number of points equal to the number of 24 cards in the scoring area; if you score for two, three, or more types of cards, then your total score for the round doubles, triples, etc.

After scoring, shuffle all cards from the deposit pile, scoring cards and all cards players have played, then place them under the deck. After the third scoring, players tally their points and see who wins.

(Gauner accommodates 2-4 players instead of 2-5.)

In the two-player-game Haus der Sonne, players are building statues on the slopes of a volcano to honor their gods. The higher the statues are built up the volcano the more they score in one of the two scoring phases, but of course the closer they are build towards the crater the danger of being destroyed by volcanic eruption is higher as well.

By playing numbered chips (1-5) to the beach, you move a ship clockwise. The sector in which the ship is moved will be evaluated. If a player has placed a numbered chip into this sector, he may gain a card from this sector. Cards are required to build statues, buy bonus score cards or to influence the direction of the lava when the volcano finally errupts (two times in the game - right before an evaluation).

Players in Taxi Wildlife want to give rides to as many animals as they can, while also traveling far into the forest.

To set up, each player takes a colored start cards, each of which shows a single path on one edge that branches into two paths at the opposite edge. Players place two each of six kinds of animals into two separate bags; someone shuffles the duel cards (after first removing any colors not in play), then places the four round cards in numerical order. Shuffle the three stacks of route cards, then reveal one card from each deck; each route card depicts an animal on the sign next to a taxi stop and some cards also show the animal on the card.

In each round, you'll draw the duel cards one by one, and for each duel card the two players shown on the card each take a bag, then race to find one of the animals depicted on a face-up route card in their bag — without looking inside the bag, mind you. If a player finds the wrong animal, then the opponent can still find one; if the player finds the right animal, he takes the matching route card from the display and tries to add it to his start card on either the left or right side. The number of paths on adjacent cards must match! If they don't match, the player returns the card, gaining nothing, and the next duel card is drawn. In addition, if the route card actually depicts the animal in question, the player keeps the animal token instead of returning it to the bag.

Once all the duel cards have been used, shuffle them and reveal the next round card. After four complete rounds or after one stack of route cards is empty, the game ends. Each player scores one point for each route card in her path and each animal in her collection; whoever has the high score wins!

In Isegrim, players are trying to collect a certain set of cards in order to win – but they don't even necessarily know what they're holding!

The deck in Isegrim consists of fifty double-sided cards, with each side of a card showing one of five animals in one of five landscapes. Each player starts the game with seven cards in hand, with a circle of fifteen cards laid out in a circle on the table. Players then exchange cards based on questions and answers between one another, trying to lead others down false paths while collecting the cards one needs in order to win.

In 
Circus Grandioso, players combine forces to create an unbelievably "pyramid of acrobatic animals". Whoever plays the topmost card on the pyramid gets the Show Master token – but only so long as no other player can play a card higher up the pyramid. Whoever holds the Show Master token at the end of the game wins.

The cards can also be used to play a solitaire game.

Everyone knows that on the U.S. frontier in the days of the Wild West, a person could work hard as a settler who establishes a hotel or saloon or as a prospector who mines for gold and other treasures – or a person could try to take the easy way out by robbing all those who did the hard work.

In Desperados, players are card sharpers, highwaymen or bank robbers who want to "earn" what they need to live out the rest of their lives in comfort. Well, most players fall into that category, but one takes the role of marshal and tries to keep the other players honest.

During set-up, a money tile is placed in each bank, a poker tile in each city without a bank, and a stagecoach in a randomly-determined city. Each outlaw starts in a city, and the marshal has both a marshal token and a number of sheriffs equal to the number of outlaws, with these tokens starting wherever the marshal places them.

The game lasts five turns, with five movement cards played by each player in each turn. Each player has an individual hand of movement cards, including a "Saloon" card that allows a player to stay in the same location. The marshal moves the stagecoach, moves each sheriff (or leaves them in place), then the marshal and the outlaws alternate laying five face-down movement cards. If an outlaw wants to take an action in a city – robbing a bank, a card game, or a stagecoach – he must show his location card to the marshal, then place his wooden disk on that location.

Once all five movement cards have been placed, the players all reveal the first card and move their tokens. If the marshal is in the same city as an outlaw, that player is jailed and loses all movement and action for the remainder of the turn; that player also loses that movement card for the remainder of the game. If an outlaw is in a location with his action disk, he can take that action – as long as more outlaws are present than sheriffs. (Players pool their money, so there's no dispute over which outlaw robbed a place.)

Once players finish their five movements, they pick up all their movement cards, the marshal replaces stolen tiles (and adds a second stagecoach in the second turn), and a new turn begins. If at the end of the game, the desperados have collected $4,000 or more per outlaw, then they win the game; otherwise the marshal wins as the outlaws – despite stealing huge amounts of funds – have not secured enough funds to guarantee their livelihood in their golden years.
